Washington Gulch Designated Dispersed Campsite #30

The road into Washington Gulch is paved to the end of the small subdivision by Long Lake. After that it becomes a two lane maintained dirt road that is oiled for dust until the Snodgrass Trailhead. Past this trailhead the road narrows to 1.5 car widths and is very winding. Care should be taken due to blind curves and fast Jeep drivers. It is doable for any large rig if one goes slow. The road at this point is less well cared for but still passable for all rigs. The further back one travels, the worse the road becomes and eventually degrades into 4X4. Note: in early season the road may be blocked by snow or landslides.

The road to this point is accessible to any vehicle.

This back-in campsite is not very level and in shade, suitable for a small rig or van. No solar or Starlink users. The side access road has a steep incline with some ruts. Due to this large rigs may not be able to make it to the site depending on their clearance from their rear tire to end of rig. Also the road can become very slick when wet requiring 4X4 during monsoon. The site a set back enough for some privacy from the main road.

There are a few close ponds and the resulting mosquitos.
