Dispersed Camping Information

Dispersed camping can be in either numbered designated sites or in non-designated sites. When camping in non-designated sites, the general rule is to be 100 feet from water and trails. If you are staying the night in a recreational vehicle, pull to the side of the road so you do not block traffic (but not far enough to cause damage to vegetation and wildlife habitat). Some areas in the forest are closed to dispersed camping, so check postings carefully. Please respect private landowners. Please remember to take your garbage, and leave everything in as natural state as possible. A forest map is very useful in showing the main roads, forest roads, private land, trails and other main features.

Become a campground host.

If you are interested in serving as a campground host please contact the nearest National Forest office. Many hosts are hired directly by the campground concession company. The individual National Forests can provide you with the process to follow in that particular area.
