I see the area is high elevation . . . . is it open year-round? How much snow does it get?

We had the best time here.
What a hidden gem!
Our campsite was spacious and somewhat private.
We rode our side-by-side over 150 miles.
Dirt rode and trails are amazing!
We'll definitely come back soon!

There are a few spots that are pretty amazing, you may have to travel down the road a ways. If you go past the private property signs there is more camping down that way.

There are a few spots that are pretty amazing, you may have to travel down the road a ways. If you go past the private property signs there is more camping down that way. We found a great spot, and no one is right beside you. You have lots of room to yourself in each space we saw.
Didn’t like that people were trying to hold a spot with a camp chair or tent. Really wanted to move these. This is a first come place. You shouldn’t try to hold a spot. If we didn’t find one down the road, I would have moved your chair or empty tent!
Beautiful, green, quiet. We entered on the Utah side and camped on the Idaho side. Narrow road.
Would definitely camp there again.

Great location right off the highway and super pretty area. I could hear the cars if I listened for them but the river blocked the rest. There was a nice fire ring and there were plenty of good spots for a tent.
I did notice litter around and the bathrooms were out of toilet paper and messy, but that wasn’t a big deal

We arrived on Father’s Day in the evening to many available spots. We drove through a few and found one next to the River that was simply stunning. We got out to size up our parking and backup strategy with a 25’ Airstream and my husband was so excited he nearly crashed into me trying to run back to the truck to get started.
As it had rained recently, there were a few ruts to be cautious about, but the site was still quite level. We got set up quickly and had a short hike along the River bank. We were near a beaver dam and saw lots to chewed down trees and beaver-construction, but no actual beavers 🦫.
We only had time for one night, but would happily spend many more. I could see it getting dusty when the roads dried out more and the ATVs and OHVs are out to play or even during busier times of camp season.
No cell service on either Version or ATT, but the down time is worth it.

We enjoyed finding the area and with the plan to unplug having zero cell service was fine with us.
Our visit was at the beginning of Memorial weekend and it was busy. Many locals with trailers already parked and no one actually there. We found no viable dispersed site along the FR006 until we took the jeep up a section marked "steep canyon" and found a pickup truck packing up. It was supposed to be raining that night.
Lots of dust and ATVs
Lots of space and spread out large site
Was clean where we ended up but not sure how the rest of the area is treated.
I'd return again just not on a weekend and especially a holiday weekend and hope to find space next to the river.

Saw so much wild life and enjoyed driving all the way into Idaho for a scenic cruise.

Yep no service no WiFi but wow! What a view. First time here and we should have driven up the road further. Better sites to be found.
Only issue was very dusty on the road. I mean dry powder dust. And people kept arriving all night long. And I mean all night long. If we had picked a better, further up site I’m sure we would have enjoyed it even better.

This is a popular spot so if you plan to camp for awhile, come early to get a good spot. LOTS of turnouts available but the good ones go fast. We arrived late on a Saturday, just wanting a place to rest for the night that wasn't a parking lot. The road is long and dusty; I should have checked mileage, but we drove up for about a half hour looking for the perfect spot that wasn't occupied. Only a couple sites left. This place is beautiful enough to stay for an extended period, and many do (according to our neighbors who were staying for a week and said they'd been trying to get that particular spot for 6 years).

It is in Bear Country so be sure to be smart with your food and leaving things out. Found a camp stop that was down a tiny hill so it was hard to see but found a gem. Nice area right next to a stream.
No nearby neighbors, it was a great camping spot.
The road is loose gravel so be careful if you're on two wheels.
