Winiger Ridge
Winiger Ridge is a free, first-come, first-served campground with approximately 30 designated sites on Gross Reservoir's west shore, accessible via rough Forest Road 359 that requires high-clearance vehicles (4WD recommended).
The area offers paddling and kayaking opportunities on the reservoir, hiking via the nearby Forsythe Canyon Trailhead, and primitive camping with picnic tables and fire pits, though no water, restrooms, or amenities are available at the campsites.
Camping is strictly limited to designated sites only, with a 14-day maximum stay per location and 28-day maximum within 60 days; note that swimming is prohibited in the reservoir and fires are only allowed in established fire pits.
