Dave's Hollow Designated Camping

Multiple flat camping areas spread across this USFS-managed dispersed site outside Tropic. Rangers at the visitor center direct campers here as a no-cost alternative to developed campgrounds. The Forest Service maintains designated spots that accommodate various RV sizes and tent setups.

Campers can choose from numerous level sites scattered throughout Dave's Hollow. The area operates under standard dispersed camping rules with no hookups, restrooms, or potable water. Several other dispersed options like Dave's Hollow Designated Dispersed Camping sit within walking distance for overflow situations. This works well for budget-conscious campers who bring their own supplies and prefer flexibility over amenities.

Good but road isn’t great right now

Rolled in on a Wednesday night. Drove about 20 mins into this dispersed camping area looking for a spot. Roads get increasingly worse as you go, I have a Mazda 3 hatch and it made it okay but if there was rain in the forecast I wouldn’t have risked it.

Camping spots are clearly marked, non camping spots are also marked - at night it might be tricky to determine which is which.

If you get there early enough tho there are some easy to access spots closer to the entrance, saw a few sedans made it there.

Gets cold at night in early May, be prepared for slightly below freezing overnight and before sunrise.

Really quiet, saw some epic stars from the spot I found. Zero chance I can pinpoint the exact location I ended up staying at.
