I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I was looking at some forest service maps in Oregon several weeks ago and they had a specific marking (dots parallel to the road) on the map for roads along which dispersed camping was legal. It's the first time I've seen it displayed so clearly.

That would be a nice addition to have here.

As far as the details. After speaking with them, basically all the information on here was correct. The 'no zones' would be the Merced River Canyon, as well as Shaver, Bass, Huntington, and Redinger Lake. Along with obviously not camping near campgrounds, private areas, etc.

As for the turnout, which was my main concern, as long as it's in the forest boundary you can park it there, and then walk into the woods 100-150'.
