Ask about this camp →U.S. Forest Service lists this site. On most of their ground you can camp away from developed sites pretty much anywhere — so treat this as a known-good spot, not the only one allowed. The unit sets stay limits and how far off road and water you must be. What changes is conditions — roads, gates, closures, fire rules. Check those with the unit before you commit to the drive.

The unit that manages Koosharem Canyon/Paiute ATV
Stay limits, road closures and fire restrictions at Koosharem Canyon/Paiute ATV are set by Fishlake National Forest, not by the campsite — check there before you go.
Snow, and when this opens
The nearest automatic snow station is Box Springs at 9,230 ft, about 5 miles away. It sits about 1,855 ft higher than this camp, so treat it as a guide rather than a reading for this spot. We do not repeat a depth here, because any number we stored would be stale by the time you read it — the station publishes today's.
