LegendTight spots and busy but beautiful!
We drove pretty far out Mittry Lake Road to the “free camping” spot labeled on Google maps. There are lots of other dispersed spots on the way in (but we’re full) and a big dispersed camping lot with parking spots as well. This is a busy area with lots of folks around. Everyone was respectful when we were here but don’t expect too much solitude or privacy. Road in is in great shape, packed gravel. Lots of the camp spots are dirt. Beautiful sunsets and lots of birds chirping. A very lovely spot to be…but with lots of company.

TravelerBeautiful, senic easy access.
This is a great spot to spend multiple days. We got here on a Sunday and it was a little busy. Lots of atv's so it was a little dusty. We found a spot a little off the road and up a little higher. Much more quiet and less dusty. On Monday, it was far less traffic. We took our 37' fifth wheel here with not much problem. The road does have some "wash boarding" in some places.
GuideQuiet and beautiful
Really great place. Primitive boondocking. Trash cans at boat ramp/day use area. Pretty crowded but not hard to find a secluded spot. No water or dump. Had to use the WeBoost for decent cell service.
