Summary

A nominal fee applies. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and horse corrals; however, there’s no drinking water or RV hookups (small RVs may fit). Nestled in a scenic, forested setting at the edge of Flat Tops Wilderness, it’s a quiet, rustic spot ideal for horseback riders and hikers. The nearby East Marvine Trail offers access to alpine lakes and expansive meadows. Best visited late June through September, when snow has melted and trails are accessible. Dispersed camping is also available nearby for those seeking solitude.

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.
