Summary

Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and non-potable water (bring your own). There are no hookups, but RVs up to ~22 ft can fit. Set in a peaceful, high-elevation ponderosa pine forest (~7,500 ft), it’s ideal for a quiet, rustic escape. Enjoy nearby trails like the General Crook Trail and wildlife viewing. Best visited late spring through early fall when temps are mild. With limited amenities and a secluded vibe, it’s perfect for campers seeking solitude and nature immersion.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
