DISPERSED CAMPING OPPORTUNITIES: Dispersed camp spots are those outside of established campgrounds. Though these locations do not offer picnic tables and other campground facilities, they do offer privacy and more rustic camping experiences. Dispersed campers may travel established roads and camp in established spots. Restrictions which limit dispersed camping include regulations to avoid resource damage. This includes driving on meadows or damaging trees with vehicles or by other means. Dispersed campers may not damage road ditches or banks or contribute to soil erosion. * Dispersed campers must remove all litter and follow all laws regarding resource protection.
Limit of Stay: Limit of stay in a developed campground is 14 days and 15 days in a dispersed area.
