About
National Forest
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.

Not super secluded, but still private
There were lots of different site options, like mentioned in other reviews. Some of them are fairly close together, but there’s a good amount of visual privacy from trees etc. We didn’t have any issues with loud neighbors which was super nice. This was a great free option. Something worth noting: the road gets pretty rough/there’s a decent sized dip after the first few sites, which we were able to make with a 4WD high clearance car, with a small trailer. But I wouldn’t have attempted it in my sedan. There’s still spots before this spot in the road but be aware :)

Complete silence in the mountains!
Stayed 7/15/20 - FREE
I turned down road 464 and found a spot to the left, after a rough little dip(in a sedan).
I was coming from Wyoming and 464 was not too far past Mirror Lake Campground and just before Lilly Lake, on the right.
There were some rough patches, and after that last dip, I decided I shouldn’t push my luck any further. There was a site to the left as soon as I pushed through and it was perfect. The night was extremely silent. Very private, although you could see neighbors. Sitting under the stars with my fire, I was lucky enough to have a neighbor play some guitar and sing. It was an awesome night! The stars were incredible. A great little spot in the mountains!
No facilities. I had ZERO AT&T service from the moment I crossed state lines from the north.

So many options
Loved my camping experience here. If you go early enough in the day to scope out sites, you get a lot of freedom with what experience you will have. You can take some dispersed sites that are fairly grouped together which makes noise from other sites an issue but has lots of visual privacy. The farther you go up the road past squaw peak, the more open fields and meadows you’ll find that provide amazing views.
