Best Dispersed Camping near Solon Springs, WI

Several free dispersed camping options exist in the forests surrounding Solon Springs, Wisconsin. Afterhours Meadow provides a peaceful setting down a navigable gravel road with a clearing large enough for multiple vehicles. The site features wildflowers in mid-summer but has rough terrain with sticks and thorns. FlowMama Trail Head offers quiet camping with direct access to mountain bike trails, though it lacks facilities and cell service.

Grace Lake Road Dispersed, located slightly west in Minnesota, provides waterfront camping with fishing opportunities. The access gate is narrow, requiring folded mirrors on larger vehicles. Chinty Lake Roadside Camp is exactly as named - a roadside pull-off that accommodates tents and RVs but experiences traffic noise. Brule River State Forest offers backpacking sites requiring a hike in, while Dago Lake in Minnesota provides a more secluded experience. A camper wrote, "Quiet aside from the occasional car. Pitch black at night." Most sites allow pets and campfires where permitted, but none offer drinking water, toilets, or other amenities, requiring true off-grid preparation.

    FlowMama Trail Head Dispersed

    Free parking, no water, no gray dump, no trash.

    This is the trailhead for a very beautiful mountain biking trail and the roads that lead up to this area are incredibly gorgeous especially in the fall. The red building in the pictures is an emergency cabin. You can go in it and look around if you want. It's not at the trailhead, it's about 10 minutes from it on your way in.

    Grace Lake Road Dispersed

    Location is inaccurate

    This spot was super nice and peaceful! Lots of different dispersed spots. Go down Tamarack Forest Road, which is a little further than the location on here.

    Chinty Lake Roadside Camp

    Literally roadside camp

    This is literally just a roadside pull off not really a campsite (and the road was kinda busy), two girls traveling did not feel comfortable spending the night here and went somewhere else

    Grace Lake Road Dispersed

    Very quit night

    Stayed a night here on our way up to the boundary waters gate is very narrow had to fold the mirrors on my Tacoma to squeeze through but if you park at the entrance it’s a short walk You’re about 20 foot from the water and fishing is good
