Summary
No reservations or permits are required, but a small nightly fee applies. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and horse corrals—though there's no potable water or hookups, and RVs over 30 feet may struggle with access. Set in a peaceful, high-alpine forest near the East Marvine Trailhead, it's ideal for anglers, horseback riders, and hikers heading into the Flat Tops. The scenery is lush and remote, with mountain views and wildlife sightings. Best visited from late June through September for snow-free 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.
