Lots of dispensed camp sites. Dirt roads are a little rough and many low hanging branches can be a hazard. Otherwise a nice free campsite either a 7-day limit.

Cool area, a little dirty. Obviously some of the users aren’t familiar with “leave no trace”, but for a free campground I can’t complain. I gathered firewood off the ground. The dirt is pretty loose getting in, so be prepared if you’re on a motorcycle. You could walk to The Gathering Place for pie and food

Awesome place to stop. Came in during the night. Hosed the mud off my bike, took a shower, and camped at free camping. Next morning had an awesome breakfast burrito ans New Mexico apple pie at Does and Bucks.

Great spot, we did an overnight stay and it was very peaceful. There are a lot of low branches where we did manage to take a chunk out of our Travel Trailer though, AND we had a blow out! The Sand path is uneven and I wouldn’t say easy to navigate a spot, but with patience and maybe a walk around before committing with a bigger rig it’s a great spot! Don’t let me scare you though as it is an awesome spot, and the pie is delicious!

Pietown Free Camping Remote, quaint, primitive. Very dark and quiet. No services. The only store was closed when we were there. Sunday to Monday June 19. A bathroom is there, but very dirty. Water available, mostly level spots. We set up our nite perimeter cameras and didn't see any wildlife or vagrants. Would stay again. Great place with dogs away from people.
