Gale River Campsites

Awesome camping spot. Dispersed and private for the most part. Great place to camp for free if there's a spot available.

Nice dispersed first come first serve camping area. Sites are very spaced out almost like a quarter of a mile between each site. The sites each have a fire ring. I got there on a Monday morning and we got very lucky that there was one spot open all of the other spots were full. Definitely don't put all your marbles in there being a site open. There are only 11 sites available.

Understand that this is dispersed roadside camping in a National Forest and there are NO services provided. That means NO water, NO toilets, NO trash collection (pack in and pack out) and of course NO electric. There is NO host so if you have a problem you will have to use 911 (if you have a cell signal) to see if a local first responder shows up. Plenty of people on the loop road who are accessing the trailheads off the road. Some campsites are walk in only others might take a small rv or trailer. If you are still interested then it's a really nice spot.

Nice well spaced camp sites, good road going in. A little hard to back in our 30ft C class but looks like smaller and tent camping is more conducive. Hard to turn around at end of drive. It fit our needs for the night.

Great place if you can find a site! I do wish people would read the signs. Leaving human waste in the site is beyond my ability to understand, but people still do it for some reason.
