Summary

No reservations or permits are needed, but a small fee applies. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads—no water or hookups, and limited RV access due to narrow roads. Nestled in a high-alpine forest near 9,500 ft, the campground offers a rustic, quiet vibe under dense pines. It’s steps from the popular Fulford Cave (permit required to enter) and close to hiking trails like East Lake Creek. Ideal for summer visits (late June–September), when snow has melted and the cave is accessible.

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.
