FS Road #177 Bowden Draw Dispersed Camping Area

This is another mountain top atv hot spot. Follow sign Bowden draw less than a mile down a bumpy dirt road but its totally 2wd friendly. No bathrooms at this location. The other spots down the road have bathrooms at the trail head so thats a con of this spot. Beautiful views and good cell coverage . The biggest downside is the dusty main road and its busy back here. Don't expect alot of privacy

We stayed on 918, which is technically no camping. We moved after 2 nights to the spot behind pictures of the sign. It was really nice, some traffic though. Zero Verizon signal, just sos mode.

Hands-down one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. If you depend on cell service to work full-time from your RV than this place is not for you. Although it will say you have full service on AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon the download speeds never get above 0.10 on any carrier. The Internet on any of the major carriers is essentially unusable.

The other thing about this area is my campsite has been visited by bears during the night a few times. It was their home first but can be quite the shocker

This dispersed camping area is free and is along the FS roads that are on backside of a ridge behind the forest and is shielded from hwy 191 noise. However it has a strong ATT cell signal (no Verizon or TMobile). Sites are along the FS roads and look east into the large valley meadow Bowden draw area. No toilets, tables or metal fire rings. No dumpsters. No water. True boondocking. Locals seem to stash TTs all summer in these sites.
