Big Frog Area

One of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Went up there when it was snowing and it was white and just absolutely gorgeous the views are spectacular I would recommend going here to anybody. It is however in the middle of nowhere and there are no bathrooms or facilities or running water so it's not a good place to have like small small children and watch out for bears.

Disclaimer: Did not camp here On my hike up Big Frog trail this weekend I came across this great site. Lots of shade, on a beautiful stretch of trail around 1 mile north of Big Frog summit on Big Frog trail. Plenty of space for several tents and probably a decent view from either side of the ridge with a little bit of scouting. Would have given 5 stars but I didn't come across any water sources nearby.

Did not camp here but passed by hiking Big Frog trail. Just south of the intersection of Benton MacKaye (Fork Ridge) and Big Frog, there is a small primitive along the trail. No good water sources spotted nearby. Pretty section of trail from here on up to Big Frog summit. The group site further south before summit of Big Frog has more shade, more space, and is nicer in my opinion. It's all uphill from Big Frog Trailhead to the summit though so be prepared with plenty of water.

I didn't stay here but passed by on my hiking Big Frog trail. On Big Frog trail, just south of intersection with Yellow Stand trail there is a primitive pine campsite with fire ring. Not the most smooth but could probably fit 2 small tents or a few hammocks. Very limited water sources nearby (some trickles on Big Frog north)

Starting out late at Big Frog Trailhead off FS221, I was hoping to find a site relatively close. About 1.5-2 mi in at the intersection of Rough Creek trail and Big Frog I saw a grassy patch with a fire ring and set up camp. There is a small path leading to another primitive site, a little more private. Small trickle crossing Big Frog trail just south and there is a stagnant pond 0.1 mi down Rough Creek trail if you get desperate. Hung a bear bag and good trees for hammocking. Great place to camp if you want to do some loop trails or be close to the trailhead.
