Summary
There are no amenities: no toilets (pack it out), no potable water, and no picnic tables or fire rings. RV access is limited; no hookups. The area provides a remote, backcountry experience in a high desert environment with sparse vegetation and expansive views—ideal for solitude seekers. Located near the Owens River and Volcanic Tablelands, it's popular for hiking, climbing, and wildlife viewing. Best visited in spring or fall to avoid extreme summer heat or winter cold. A free public lands permit may be required—check BLM regulations.

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.
