Wind exposure defines the camping experience at this dispersed Forest Service area along FR 237, where sites spread across Larson Ridge offer ample space but little natural windbreak. Campers report dust storms when gusts pick up, with equipment damage possible during stronger weather events. The rocky terrain softens as visitors drive further up the forest road, though this means increased distance from the vault toilet.
Sites fill quickly despite the challenging conditions, with ATV and truck traffic on the main road creating additional dust clouds for campers positioned closer to FR 237. The area provides access to forest roads suitable for ATV exploration and geode hunting opportunities nearby. For more dispersed options in the region, Larson Ridge Dispersed Camping sits just over a mile south. Pack extra stakes and guy lines for wind protection.
