Wattensaw Campground

Wattensaw Camping Area #23 is a primitive dispersed campsite within the Mike Freeze Wattensaw Wildlife Management Area near Hazen, offering free camping with no facilities or toilets.

Access is via gravel roads (County Road 708) that can be rough on vehicles, and sites are marked with small signs and blue-painted trees; come prepared with your own water and supplies.

The area is ideal for hunting and fishing enthusiasts, with numerous ponds and streams throughout the 14,000+ acre WMA, though navigation can be challenging and GPS may be unreliable.
