Nockamixon State Park Haycock Mountain Fire Road Dispersed Area
Haycock Mountain Fire Road winds up the ridge behind the main park area, opening to 4-5 dispersed camping spots on the hilltop plateau. Sites offer partial views through the trees to Nockamixon Lake below, with enough space for medium-sized rigs and small trailers. Fire rings and makeshift rock seating areas show this gets steady use from locals who know the spot. The elevation gives you some breeze on hot summer nights.
The fire road is gated but accessible on foot or by permit during certain seasons — check current access rules at the park office. Road surface is maintained gravel that any vehicle can handle. Gets busy on summer weekends when the main campground fills up, so arrive early or have a backup plan.
