CAMPING IN STATE/NATIONAL FORESTS

Camping is also available at many state and national forests. Unlike state park campgrounds, forest campgrounds do not have resident managers, organized nature programs, or modern facilities such as showers and flush toilets. Individual campsites cannot be reserved but are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Campsite fees are pre-paid in a drop-box. Dispersed camping where allowed is free.
