Summary
No reservations or permits are required for camping, and there are no fees. There are pit toilets at the trailhead but no drinking water; campers must bring their own. No fire rings, grills, or picnic tables are provided, and the area is not suitable for RVs or hookups. Set in a lush forested Sierra Nevada landscape, campsites are primitive but scenic. The highlight is the 8.2-mile roundtrip hike to Feather Falls, a 410-foot waterfall. Spring and fall offer the best weather and waterfall viewing conditions.

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.
