Summary
No reservations required for dispersed sites; campgrounds are first-come, first-served. Dispersed sites are free, while campgrounds may charge a small fee. Amenities at the General Store include pit toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings—no hookups or dump stations, but RVs are welcome. Set in a scenic high-alpine meadow at 6,200 ft, it’s a popular Pacific Crest Trail stop with nearby hiking, fishing, and OHV trails. Best visited late spring to early fall before snowfall limits access.

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.
