Ball Field Dispersed Camping Area

Road to the camping site is all forest service roads. There is washboarding, gravel sections, and there were a few deep ruts. While the road narrows at points, when I did pass others going the other way, there was always a place for me to pull over for them. I was driving a full sized 4x4. I wondered several times if I could pull a small travel trailer up there but decided it would not be a great idea given how tight some of the turns were (one particularly sharp switchback from the direction I came), the low level of some of the branches (my roof did hit a few), the drops along the road causing some side to side articulation, and the working of the breaks on the way back down.

As you pull into the camping area, there is a loop around the “Field.” There is a gate, but it was open. Along the loop, there are 5 or maybe 6 pull off spots. I parked in the first one to the right. It had a fire ring, was clear, and lots of level spots. My cell service provider is AT&T. I barely got 1 bar, and that was if I had my phone on my dash and towards the front of the pull out. In my tent, no cell service. At the opposite end of the field entry point is a trailhead for The Emery Creek Trail. Several hogs came by in the morning, rooting around. In my two days, only one other person camped up there. He told me he was local and comes to the spot a lot to look for rocks and Indian items.

No facilities ... bring what you need.

While staying at the site, several sweeps of clouds passed through ... creating mystical, magical stay. I was ready for some ghosts of Indians past to come by and pay a visit.

I will return to this spot.
