Does anyone know of a good camping spot for 2 - 3 tents near the Woodbury TH? The camping spots at Rogers Trough TH were nasty with toilet paper and "such". Thanks.

I think you would be fine with staying at the Woodbury TH and your experience would be more pleasant than the one you had at Rogers. I have seen many camped there before a backpack, or big hike in the past, seems to be room and allowed.

@friendofThundergod
Thank you. We've only just driven past the turnoff for the Woodbury TH so your advice is helpful.

@HarrisonBarnard1
Keep an eye out for signage on site. It is not uncommon for camping to be prohibited at trailheads -- probably for the very reason that you cited with Rogers Trough...too much use in one spot without proper facilities results in unpleasant surprises.

FWIW- I'm pretty sure there is a "no camping" sign posted at Rogers, though I'm sure it is often ignored.

I believe the traditionally accepted "buffer" is half a mile away!

@chumley
You are correct in that there is a "No Camping" sign at the Rogers Trough TH. I've spoke with a ranger about it and he said you just can't camp in the parking lot. Ditto for Woodbury TH.

just can't camp in the parking lot

oops ;)

can we have our wink back?
