Summary
No reservations or fees are required, but a free permit may be needed for campfires (check with the local ranger district). Amenities are minimal: no toilets (you must pack out waste), no water, and no hookups. Campers must be fully self-sufficient. Expect fire rings in some popular spots, but bring your own grill and water. The vibe is peaceful and remote, with nearby hiking, fishing, and stargazing opportunities. Best visited late spring through early fall when roads are accessible and conditions are comfortable.

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.
