Generators run frequently at this dispersed camping area north of Red River, creating a social atmosphere that differs from typical backcountry solitude. The access road challenges some vehicles, though multiple large RVs have successfully navigated the route to reach the sites along Mallette Creek.
Campers find varied terrain that requires effort to level trailers, but the forested setting provides natural screening between sites. The area accommodates both RVs and smaller rigs, with dispersed camping near Carson National Forest offering additional options throughout the forest. Cell service reaches the area, and hiking trails extend from the camping zone into surrounding terrain.
