Originally we were set up on a small pull off on the side of the road, but then we took a walk and saw a small road shooting off the side with 3 large spots with fire pits. So beautiful and pretty quiet besides the cars during the day. The trailhead to the Enchantments trails is right up the road so it is very convenient compared to sleeping in the parking lot at the trailhead.

Great spot near trailhead.

Awesome spot! Felt quite private despite being right off the forest service road. Each of the 3 spots had easy access to the river. It's only 2 miles away from the Stuart  and Colchuck Lake TH too!

Wonderful campsite near the Enchantments!

There are multiple pull off spots along this road, each with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. I camped at two different pull offs. Didn’t worry too much about not finding a vacant spot. The road does go up to a busy trailhead, so traffic in the morning starts early. It’s pretty dusty as vehicles drive by. All around really enjoyed these dispersed campsites. 

Awesome pull offs 

Absolutely stunning! We went to the left side past the Porta potty’s along the off-road trail very bumpy, but absolutely worth it. We camped right along the river, and there was even a little access point for kayaks and canoes and calm water for the kids.￼


Secluded but rocky road to get there 

Beautiful scenery, not hard to find, and lots of spaces open along the road. The road did get quite bumpy and rocky at points, but I assume this is normal for dispersed camping (this was my first dispersed camping experience). The only concern my friend and I had was an old RV near the entrance. That being said, the spot we chose was much higher and farther up the road from where the RV was, and we were not bothered. We actually didn’t see anyone else up there when we went in late July.
