Dirt roads branch off through open terrain and juniper-shaded hillsides along this free dispersed area within Crooked River National Grassland. Sites appear roughly every quarter mile or so as the forest service road continues past the main Skull Hollow Campground, many with established fire rings already in place. The road is dirt but manageable for 2WD and lower-clearance vehicles, though steeper side spurs reward drivers with higher clearance. Dry pit toilets sit near the road entrance. Cell service is available, and pets are welcome.
Description
*** There is a Closure Order prohibiting dispersed camping outside of the Skull Hollow campground. View a map of the closure area here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd507382.pdf.
This closure is designed to help protect natural resources around the trailhead from overuse and to prevent conflict between campers and day users. Please observe the closure order and use the campground for camping in the vicinity of Skull Hollow trailhead.
There is a 14 day stay limit on all National Grassland and US Forest Service land including but not limited to campgrounds and other developed facilities. Additionally, the general area outside Skull Hollow campground is CLOSED to camping and fires within a ¼ mile of the road from the junction of FS 5710 and Lone Pine Road to the junction of FS 5710 and FS 5720.
