Summary
A wilderness permit is required, but no reservations or fees beyond the permit are necessary. There are no amenities—no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV access—so campers must follow Leave No Trace practices. Set in a stunning alpine meadow surrounded by rugged peaks and pines, it's a serene stopover for hikers en route to Mt. Whitney or Moraine Lake. Best visited July–September, when trails are snow-free, this remote spot offers solitude, pristine scenery, and star-filled night skies.

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.
