Something not right?
Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
I stumbled on this area while headed to the Blue Valley Dispersed camping area. This spot is much more secluded. High clearance vehicles needed to get to the best spots (4x4 recommend if it's recently rained). No cell service on Verizon or T-Mobile. No vehicle noise or light pollution. Just the babbling creek and singing wildlife. NFS land.
There are good camping areas at the end of each dirt road.
One area is nice and open if you have solar panels you want to keep in the sun. First right after the road turns to gravel, then left at the Y (to the right is a narrow dirt road that turns into a walking trail after a small bridge. Very tight turn around here but doable in a 19' van).
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
We stayed here one night after not being able to get a spot at Blue Valley. We drove the entire road and only found one spot in this location. There is no fire ring or picnic table but there is a lantern post. It appears the area is heavily used for target practice and drinking. Trash , shotgun shells and broken glass everywhere.
The lake that is shown on maps is longer full and is overgrown with vegetation. There is a small creek that runs through the area but we did not venture down to see if it was accessible.
This was our backup spot after not being able to stay at the Blue Valley area. This area may have been nice at one time, but it is now used for "mudding" and target practice and has empty shotgun shells and broken glass all over it. The lake is no longer full and is overgrown with vegetation. There is a small creek that still flows but the quality of the water is unknown. There is a lantern pole but there is not a fire ring or picnic table. We did have cell service with AT&T.
