Latest Check-Ins

Most spots on this road capable of parking a vehicle were already claimed on a random Tuesday in July.
I did some exploring of the surrounding trails, 602A gets pretty technical but rewards you with a few gorgeous/private campsites. There appear to be some gates that are closed seasonally for weather and elk calving, and they were all open by early July. It's a relatively laid-back area, the road is largely passable but gnarly enough to where you'll want to take it slow and probably have high clearance.
It is worth noting that the spot on the GPS marker is blocked off with boulders. There is a way around through the trees, but you'd have to ignore the "NO MOTOR VEHICLES" Forest Service sign. Tent campers should do just fine there, however.
Adequate Verizon coverage in most spots nearby.

Report Check-In

Gate still closed. Couldn’t stay there. Had to find another place

Report Check-In

Pullout parking along road. Lot’s of traffic at night on Labor Day Sunday, but not bad.

Report Check-In

We didn't even make to the site. We drove 1 mile past Dry Lake campground. 4x4 was not necessary, but the road was so bumpy, we turned around. Not a good place if you're here to see the town.

Report Check-In

Road is rough and needs 4WD. Lots of camping spots along the way up to this area. We were passing by in 4WD SUV, did not camp here but saw the area.
