Mad River Ranger District

Dispersed camping is a form of camping where you are not in a developed campground and there are none of the amenities; such as, toilets, piped water, picnic tables, etc. Visitors can camp just about anywhere in the national forest unless it is specifically prohibited. The big change on the Six Rivers National Forest, along with other national forests, is that visitors cannot drive off of designated roads and trails, except where specifically allowed. The forest designated a number of routes that lead to areas popular for dispersed camping, and we are asking visitors to tell us of other locations they would like to see designated for motor vehicle use in the future.
