Summary

There are no amenities: no toilets, water, or hookups; bring all supplies and pack out waste. Some sites have fire rings and old picnic tables. Accessible via dirt roads (check conditions), it’s suited for high-clearance vehicles; RVs not recommended. Surrounded by forested meadows and quiet pine groves, it’s peaceful and scenic—especially in spring and early summer when wildflowers bloom. Popular with hikers and mountain bikers exploring nearby trails like Mill Creek. Ideal for solitude-seekers wanting a off-grid, back-to-nature experience.

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.
