Summary

Permits are generally required for dispersed sites, while established sites may need reservations; fees vary by location. Most campsites feature pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables; water availability is limited, so bring extra. RVs are welcome in some areas, but hookups are typically not available. Nestled in a forested, mountainous setting, the camping experience feels rustic and remote, ideal for solitude seekers. Nearby attractions include scenic hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and access to lakes and creeks. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall for warm days and accessible roads.

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.
