Confirmed by 3 users | Last reported on June 04, 2023This is the best free campground I've stayed in, ever. Beautiful terrain with white buttes and grassy hills plus lots of pine trees. Good dirt road off the highway, solid except for a couple of big potholes. Some of the sites are huge, and most of them have some kind of delightful scenery to explore right there. Not very crowded and good space between sites. Plenty of trees but most sites would probably be solar friendly. Vault toilets, but no water and no trash pickup. There is a large group site right next the road, near the info kiosk. In this same area there is one pole with electricity for getting a little charge on your phone, leave a donation if you use it. The kiosk has USFS Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) for the area so you can explore, and dispersed camping is permitted throughout this forest. I got 1-2 bars Verizon 4G LTE and 1-2 bars AT&T 3G/4G.

We staying in our 31 foot Class A in April 2018.
Except for one day where we had a wicked storm, the stay was awesome.
Quiet and clean.

If you like boondocking-then this is for you. This is a beautiful place, so much to see. You will be overwhelmed by its beauty. Hiking trails, hunting, cooking outdoors. Bathrooms throughout the campsite and a neat set up. Fairly well protected from the winds. 3250 elevation.

Took a gamble on this site, as Campendium advised it might be closed due to the Covid-19 situation. Good news, it isn't! And it's great for social distancing. Most of the sites are separated from other sites, not only by distance, but by terrain and foliage.
Great spot for those that enjoy hiking and biking. Huge area to explore.
Quiet and peaceful site to camp.

This is an amazing little gem! We arrived late afternoon with no one there and only one other person pulling in later. Sites are so far apart it doesn’t matter if someone else is there anyway. If you walk to the south end of the campground, there is a forest road that leads to a gate and past the gate is a mini badlands. We had the place to ourselves to explore. Very cool place.
Note that due to COVID, the pit toilets were closed. No other amenities.

Seems to get full on the weekends, but I was still able to get my Sprinter reasonably level on one of the grassy areas in the cul-de-sac near two small trails at the end of the road. Wonderful views and a special area.

We had a nice one night stay here 9/10/2020. The cows were a bit loud from time to time. The pit toilets were very dirty and full of insects.

Such a quiet campground! There looks to be about 10 official spots? 6 with gravel back ins. There is 1 pull through spot. The official spots have a metal fire ring and picnic table. There are 4 vault toilets spaced out throughout the campground which is nice! They aren’t being cleaned at this time but still being stocked with TP. Extremely peaceful and not frequently used. During my 3 night stay, I had 1-2 campers I was sharing the campground with. There’s a nice picnic area at the entrance. There’s also an electric outlet up front if you need to charge something, with a donation box. I had 2 bars of LTE via ATT basically anywhere before the first camping loop. After that, 1 bar of 4G. Saw a forest ranger drive through one day. I’d definitely stay again and it’s free!

This really is a gem of a spot. There were 2 other sites occupied but the only sounds I heard were owls and coyotes. I’ll stay here again!

It is a small camp for small rigs. The gravel spots are too narrow and have a slat so it is a bit awkward. But the place has great views of badlands
