Summary

There are no established campsites, reservations, or fees, but a permit is required to access the cabin itself. Campers must be self-sufficient—there are no toilets, water, fire rings, grills, picnic tables, RV hookups, or amenities, and access is via rough roads (high-clearance vehicles recommended). The scenic area features pinyon-juniper woodlands, quiet solitude, and proximity to Kanab Creek Wilderness and Jumpup Canyon. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and fewer road-access issues due to snow or mud.

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.
