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.
Looks like an old forest service quarry or construction staging site. No activity recently it appears. Big area of forest cleared with several private places to park RVs/vans. The hill getting in is a bit steep so wouldn’t recommend for anything over 25 ft probably. A bit of traffic noise from hwy 20 but tons of room.

Latest Check-Ins
beautiful quiet spot, down past lower gravel spot. there was a front end lower parked in lower spot and we were woken up by them at work with "backing up beeps" all good though. drove right out.
Report Check-InGood spot for a night. the highway wasn't too loud and if anyone else came in, I couldn't hear or see them from my spot behind the hill of rocks to the right of the entrance
Report Check-Ingreat spot. worked well for the night! lots of space for all sized rigs.
Report Check-InStayed here for one night. The road noise was not to bad after 9:00 pm. We only had one family in a van near us so overall a quiet spot.
Report Check-InNice spot for the night, seems to be one of the only spots in the area you can free camp. Lots of hwy noise but it’s tucked where you can’t actually see the hwy. we choice the spot furthest west, was the most tucked and private. Didn’t notice anybody else here but that doesn’t say there wasn’t. Lots of different established fire rings and lots of space for multiple rigs. Any car can manage but probably wouldn’t drag anything in that’s too large. No reception for either AT&T or Verizon
Report Check-InWe got here at 7pm on Friday 7/22 and no one else was around. One camper arrived around 8pm and parked down below in a spot. 2 more campers together showed up at 10pm and camped near us on the hill: but they were gone by 7am. Very quiet and level
Report Check-Inlooks like a bunch of flat spots. would not want to be here in rain. no cellular service. starlink works great.
Report Check-In3 sites around the lower loop drive and one large area on top of the sand pile for another 3 vehicles. No amenities, just dirt/sand but views of 6 different peaks from the site up top. If you are tracking toward the GPS coordinates on the map, the turn in is on the left AFTER you pass the coordinates if going from Diablo to Washington Pass N to S
Report Check-InStayed one night. Easy pull through spots. Plenty of space for multiple large rigs. A few other car campers were here when we arrived. Lots of giant piles of gravel and large boulders on the perimeter (appears to be a construction staging area). No cell service. Gorgeous views above the tree line.
Report Check-InThis place is wonderful. There are a few pull out spots with fire pits and were probably 3 or 4 other groups there.
Report Check-InRanger told us that there is no dispersed camping allowed within the National Scenic Corridor.
So this site seems to be no longer available and should be closed.
A bit bumpy to the exact coordinates but it’s a bit hidden behind a dirt mound, quiet and easy coming out of the cascades for a night
Report Check-InUnmarked road off Hwy 20. Abandoned rock pile with some pretty spectacular views. Several spots w some privacy up here so even if it were crowded you could find a space, but I didn’t see anyone else on a Friday night. Nice flat spots for a tent or RV.
Report Check-InSpent a private night here. Great spot, no Verizon service. You can hear cars on the road at night but it’s faint.
Report Check-InLots of space for multiple rigs, not a bad drive up. Saw one other tent camper.
Report Check-InGreat spot in a camping desert. One other person on a Monday in August, quiet. plenty of room for many rigs.
Report Check-Inturn is on the north side almost exactly at mile marker 153. steep but i could have gotten in with my prius. on a tuesday night i was the only one here when i arrived at 1845
