FR-302 Large-Rig Dispersed Camping Area (Streamside Meadow Access)

The Setup: Multiple dispersed campsites along Forest Road 302 and side spurs FR-3021A/B, offering a mix of forest pull-offs and meadow-adjacent sites suitable even for large Class A motorhomes with careful maneuvering.

Amenities: None reported.

The Highlights: Quiet forest-road camping with minimal traffic, nearby hiking access, and a scenic meadow crossed by a small stream. The area offers a surprisingly workable setup for larger rigs while still feeling remote and peaceful. Good dog-walking roads and attractive alpine scenery make it well suited for longer stays.
