What is dispersed camping?

Dispersed camping is primitive camping on public land outside of developed campgrounds. There are no facilities — no toilets (usually), no water, no trash service, no marked sites. You may camp anywhere within the area, usually for free, subject to the agency's rules below. Pack everything out, follow Leave No Trace, and check current conditions with the land manager before you go.

Dispersed camping permitted on this Forest Service unit subject to current Forest Orders, MVUM, and fire restrictions. Verify rules with the managing ranger district before any visit.
