Camping in the El Dorado National Forest and the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is not limited to developed campgrounds. Most of the National Forest is open to those who prefer the quiet and solitude of a completely undeveloped setting outside established campgrounds. This type of camping is called "dispersed camping," and visitors are asked to choose a fire safe camping spot and leave a minimal impact on the site. There is no fee for dispersed camping.
