Summary
There are no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables, so campers must be fully self-sufficient and practice Leave No Trace ethics. The area is forested and serene, ideal for solitude seekers. Set near the Crystal Basin area, it provides access to hiking, fishing, and off-roading. RVs can access the area via gravel roads, but there are no hookups. Best visited late spring through early fall, when roads are clear and weather is mild. Perfect for rugged, off-grid camping enthusiasts seeking quiet wilderness.

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.
