Coordinates Not Frye Lake CG—Very Rough Road

There is a dispersed camping area east of Frye Lake CG off Louis Lake Rd on Forest Road 3001L. 

This road has maybe half a dozen camping spots along an incredibly rocky road. We were happy our AWD van was lifted with a special shock kit. At the end of the road, there is a sort of flat field. 

There is no lake access via car, but you can walk up to the top of the dam. 

So if you want free camping, this works. But it isn’t as the review below describes.
