About

https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd766784.pdf Look for an area that has already been impacted to avoid further damaging vegetation. Falling trees are always a hazard when traveling through the forest. Place tents and park vehicles in areas where they will not be hit if a tree falls. Regulations: • You may drive up to 300 feet off an open road to access a campsite unless otherwise signed, and if you can do so without causing damage to soils or vegetation. • Camp at least 100 feet from any source of water within wilderness areas. Check Wilderness regulations for site specific closures. • Any area signed as “No Camping” means just that. • MVUM’s (Motor Vehicle Use Maps) are also a good information source for stretches of roads on National Forests that allow dispersed camping from a vehicle. • Do not damage vegetation. Do not cut green trees, break off limbs, drive nails into or damage the bark of trees. • Do not level a site or dig trenches, rather pick a site with good drainage. • Do not cut live tress for any purpose including tent poles, hanging racks, and clearing ground. • Building permanent structures is prohibited. When you leave, dismantle all structures including game poles. Pack out all non-native materials. • Respect private landowners and don't trespass on private property.
