Bird calls and the occasional rustle of wildlife in the trees set the tone at this free dispersed site within Uinta National Forest. Access comes via a dirt road that stays manageable at lower elevations but grows rocky and rough higher up, so high-clearance vehicles have an advantage on the upper stretches. Campers report plenty of open spots, campfire rings, and generous spacing between sites. Road noise carries through the night, since the camping area sits close to the main road. Late summer visits overlap with bow deer hunting season, when sites fill quickly. Lodgepole Campground is about 0.8 miles north for campers who want a more developed alternative.
Description
Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience of camping away from developed campgrounds and other campers. Dispersed camping is the term used for camping anywhere in the National Forest outside of a designated campground. Dispersed camping means no toilets, no treated water, and no fire grates are provided.
Camping in dispersed areas on the Forest is allowed for fourteen (14) days in any thirty (30) day consecutive period. Campers must move off Forest after reaching the 14-day limit. The stay limit also applies to all camping equipment (tents, chairs, ATVs, ATV trailers, etc.), even if used by a different person or group. Camping equipment must be removed by the end of the fourteen (14) day stay limit or the equipment may be impounded. Stay limits are implemented to reduce impacts to vegetation and wildlife habitat, as well as provide access to popular campsite areas for other visitors.
There are extra responsibilities and skills that are necessary for dispersed camping. It's your responsibility to know these before you try this new experience.
