Skull hollow dispersed

Great sites off the small dirt roads on the way in. A lot of them have fire pits built. Stayed at a great site last night about 1.5 miles up the road, with a steep right turn off the main road heading west, a great spot on a hill crest. Hugh clearance recommended, but it would prob go in a Prius if you just need a spot to pull over.

Free and close to Smith Rock!

If you keep driving on the forest service road past the Skull Hollow campground there are many designated spots to car camp along the road. The road is dirt but 2WD/low clearance is fine. The campground has public, dry toilets near the entrance of the road. Some sites are shaded by juniper trees.
