It's quiet

Quite a few miles down Squirrel Gap Rd. There is another sunnier sight a little before this one. But this one is right off the road, entrance is steep. Decent sized area, stone fire ring, plenty of firewood.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access camping areas on Squirrel Gap Road?

Camping areas on Squirrel Gap Road are located several miles down the road. To access these sites, follow Squirrel Gap Road until you spot cleared areas with stone fire rings. Some sites are directly off the road, while others may require a short drive on side paths. Be prepared for potentially steep entrances to some camping spots. As this is a dispersed camping area in a remote location, it's advisable to have detailed maps and sufficient fuel before heading out.

What are the road conditions like on Squirrel Gap Road for camping?

Squirrel Gap Road is a forest road that extends for several miles, with camping opportunities along its length. Some camping area entrances are steep, which may present challenges for low-clearance vehicles. The road is unpaved and likely has typical forest road conditions including potential ruts, rocks, and uneven surfaces. During wet weather, conditions may deteriorate. High-clearance vehicles are recommended, especially for accessing the more remote camping spots deeper down the road.

Are there designated camping sites along Squirrel Gap Road?

While Squirrel Gap Road offers dispersed camping rather than developed campsites, there are identifiable camping spots along the route. These informal sites are marked by previously used areas with stone fire rings. At least two notable spots exist - one described as sunnier located partway down the road, and another directly off the road with a steep entrance. Each site has a cleared area for camping, established stone fire rings, and ample deadwood nearby for campfires. As dispersed sites, they operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
