I was desperate for a dispersed site

I needed a campsite close to FairPlay and prefer dispersed over paying to camp, so I was very thankful to find Hoosier Pass dispersed campground through the Dyrt! TBH I was a little creeped out just by how heavily wooded the area is and I was the only one camping there, however a site across the road from me had a toilet tent setup still with no one there. I moved my ring of rocks away from the trees before starting a campfire. The road was a bit rough so I was glad to have high clearance. The hikers coming through really enjoy the view at the top of the hill. Closed in winter for vehicles but open then for snowmobiles and snowshoeing.

Last year for free camping here!

This place was very much like a reservable campground but without water or electricity. It’s technically on BLM land so it’s free this year but that’s changing starting next year. This campground is open till December 1st! The reception for my Verizon phone was only 1 or 2 bars and when my fellow camp set left on Sunday, I have SOS no service. The camp host was so strict on parking it borderline harassment. The sites offered beautiful views, the sky was great for stargazing, and sites were spacious. There are picnic tables, fire pits with grills attached, and 2 vault toilets.

Free Primitive Campground 2023

Stayed at campsite 11, Sept. 8-9 and loved the location further from most other sites and pushed back to the edge of the wilderness with less traffic. The max parking in that spot was only 2 cars and the camp host was VERY strict about not having more. The camping has picnic tables, fire pits with grills, and 2 vault toilets. The views were beautiful and the night sky was great for stargazing!
