Summary
It features both established campsites and opportunities for dispersed camping. There are no reservations or fees—sites are first-come, first-served. Amenities are minimal: pit toilets are available, but there is no potable water, no hookups, and limited RV access (smaller rigs only). Campsites include fire rings and picnic tables. The area is scenic and quiet, ideal for campers seeking solitude and access to nearby trails like the Rim Lakes Vista Trail. Best visited late spring to early fall due to elevation and cooler temps.

Camping Essential Practices
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.
