Winiger Ridge Access provides free, first-come, first-served dispersed camping with approximately 30 designated campsites on National Forest System land near Gross Reservoir, though high-clearance or 4WD vehicles are required as access roads are rough and seasonal (typically open mid-May through mid-November).

The area offers picnic tables and fire pits at campsites, with nearby access to the Forsythe Canyon Trailhead for hiking and water recreation on Gross Reservoir (kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing permitted, though swimming is prohibited).

Note that camping is limited to 14 days in one location with a maximum 28-day stay within 60 days, and only designated campsites are permitted—dispersed camping outside marked areas is prohibited by Forest Service order.
