Salamander Flat Dispersed Campground

I would say if your over 30 feet you might want to think twice before you do it!!! We arrived at around 3pm on the way up cars were going way to fast for the switch back I’m guess they watched a little to much fast and furious, my point is the road is busy until about 9:30pm so the best time is early morning in the week or late at night just because the other car just don’t seem to care and when they are parked on the road and your coming through with a camper they really don’t seem to care everyone in a hurry to get that spot. The campground has no even places to park and it hunting season so hunters have there campers already there, so places are hard to find, and let me tell it’s a busy little place cars coming in and out till about 10:30 after that it’s pretty quiet. I would go back but it would only be on a week day when traffics not so thick like on the weekend oh and lots oh off road motorcycles and ATV’s running all day. And no signal

I would only camp here on weekdays. We were here on Sat June 27, 2020. We managed to back in between two trucks... it was very overcrowded and one almost full toolset was disturbing. No water, no sanitizers and 100s of people with families with LOTS of kids running around. The place was jammed with huge campers and pop ups. Many tents were jammed into the surrounding fields and any open space. It was obvious that there was a LOT of drinking going on, party hollering and stumbling drunk young adults were observed. Beautiful views and needing a place to camp made this our only choice as all campgrounds were full. I would not stay here again on a weekend.

We camped here on a friday night in the summer (6/12) and the campground was extremely full. Thankfully we took our camper out at 10am on friday or there would have been no place to park later on in the day. There were lots of families, so lots of little kids running around. I would say this campground was a little overcrowded for my liking, not as big as we thought it would be. There is a pit toilet, but I would suggest bringing your own toiler paper because the bathrooms ran out of it by late friday. Beautiful views though!

This is a large gravel lot, with fire rings, but there is no where to pull in for an RV. The fire rings have some tree cover as well as a spot for a tent but RVs have to park alongside several large rocks. There were two more private site tucked away a little further past the vault toilets but were both taken. Some very pretty views on the drive up and from the campground.

You must pay to drive down the road to get to this campground. About $3 for several days unless you have an Annual National Parks Pass.
