The national forest service website says there are dispersed camping site throughout the corridor; however, I was only able to locate one and luckily it was vacant.  There are several spots along the road that may have been for dispersed camping as some point but are now clearly marked with no camping signs.  I did enjoy my stay here but I’m a little disappointed in the website saying there were multiple sites … i has to drive almost 4 hours to get there and would have been super disappointed if I arrived to no spots.  Also a lot of trash in the area of the site sadly.
