Dispersed Camping Banned in EC Co. Forest

Dispersed Camping Banned in EC Co. Forest

Dispersed camping will not be allowed at Eau Claire County Forest for the next two months.

The Eau Claire County Committee on Parks and Forest has approved a temporary ban on all dispersed camping within the Eau Claire County Forest starting tomorrow Friday August 16th – Tuesday October 15th. This means you cannot purchase a County Forest Camping Permit.

If you are interested in camping during that time frame, they are recommending other options such as Coon Fork Campground or Harstad Campground.

Again this is a temporary ban on dispersed forest camping ONLY. Activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting are still permitted, and campers can purchase ten-dollar permits and camp anywhere in the 50-thousand acre forest. Dispersed camping will be allowed again starting on October 15th.
