Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Your favorite remote campgrounds? (that you're willing to share)

Here's a few of mine.

Ferry Landing in Iowa, about 5 miles on gravel roads from the nearest Iowa town. Good place to fish, relax, watch the river rise...

Sagecreek Campground, Badlands National Park.
Off the beaten path compared to their main campground, bring your own water, gas stoves only.

Sagecreek Campground

My all-time favorite is Echo Park in Dinosaur National Monument. It is 13 miles of gravel/dirt road plus 25 miles of paved from the nearest main road. The campground is surrounded by 500-1000 feet high amphitheater of sandstone cliffs. I last camped there in October, 2010, had the place to myself for 3 days. No water or fees in the off-season. Saw some monster mulies and bighorn, too!

Here is a photo taken near the campround, the large rock is called Steamboat Rock. That section of it is about the same height as Devils Tower!

This a great place with wilderness areas which the last I knew were strictly walk in,no fires etc.Great fishing lakes and we always camped at Ballard's Marsh..

I knew a guy in the army and he talked about Echo Park
quite often.

I need visit the sandhills region! It is a bit unusual for a NWR to have camping.

Sorry. Won't tell you.

If you can drive to it, it aint remote.

You've never been to SE Oregon have you?

Sure have, several times. I stand by my opinion.

yep

Thank you!

I don't need any more "company".

Some of the places that were my favorite camp grounds weren't really campgrounds at all. They were gravel pits, logging landings or Meadows were we would set up Elk Camp out in the West End of the Olympic National Forest or in the Red Zone near Mount St Helens in Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

What is a campground? Up here the entire state is a campground!

5 miles by gravel road is remote?

I've always liked this one. Drive in access 20+ miles...

The Racetrack, Death Valley NP:

It is for Iowa. In some of the east coast states, it might be difficult to find something even that far from a town or paved highway.
Obviously from some the responses here, people define remote differently.

I was going to guess somewhere near the Tetons until I quoted you, and Upper Green River Lakes came up in the image link. I have been kind of close to that area, wish I had stopped!

For years we liked this place. http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mthood/recreation/camping-cabins/recarea/?recid=52888&actid=29

But for the last fifteen years we were in Oregon we had a place neat Madras we loved that was on private property.
