Summary

There are no established campsites, but visitors will find some clearings with primitive fire rings. Amenities are minimal—no toilets, water, or hookups—so campers must be self-sufficient. The area is forested with pines and cedars, offering a peaceful, secluded vibe. High-clearance vehicles are recommended; RV access is limited. Nearby attractions include Dinkey Creek and local trails for hiking and fishing. Best visited late spring through early fall, the area provides a rustic, quiet escape for experienced campers seeking solitude in a scenic mountain setting.

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.
