Dirt Road camping

Check weather conditions and map before heading here.

This is a dispersed camping area so be self sufficient 

This is a dirt road so not for everyone to travel down.  But we did travel on bikes so it is not horrible.  

We set up camp right next to Rose Run, just East of the closed off bridge.

Along this road you will see areas to pull off where people have set up fire rings.

Just pull off and set up camp.  Our camp area apparently was well used with many beer cans and spent shell casings.

There is not a ton of traffic on this road but since the site is close to the road you will hear some vehicles driving by.

There is Elk Springs Resort & Fly Shop just down the road.  Here you can hire a guide, or pay to fly fish their well stocked area.  A well stocked fly shop as well.  Everyone there was great on suggestion on flies suggestions.

The area where we camped is catch and release only!  Please be respectful of the river and rules.  Water levels were pretty low, but was nice to just sit by the river, listen to the sounds and relax.
