Summary

No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. There are no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables—visitors must pack in/out everything and follow Leave No Trace principles. The area is remote, forested, and peaceful, appealing to solitude-seekers and experienced campers. RV access is limited; no hookups are available. Located near the Sierra National Forest, it provides access to hiking, fishing, and off-road exploration. Best visited late spring through early fall when roads are passable and weather is mild. Prepare for self-sufficiency.

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.
