Tiadaghton State Forest Black Forest Road Dispersed Sites
Multiple dispersed camping spots along the Black Forest Road network, accessible via a maze of old logging roads that weave through dense second-growth forest. Sites range from small roadside pull-offs to larger clearings that can handle bigger rigs. Most have some natural screening between spots, and several offer access to seasonal creeks. No facilities — this is true dispersed camping where you’re responsible for everything.
Roads are generally passable for high-clearance vehicles, though wet weather turns them into muddy challenges. The network can be confusing — paper maps or offline GPS recommended. Popular with hunters in fall but otherwise quiet. Some roads may be closed during logging operations, and winter access is limited to snowmobile season.
