Summary
There are no established campsites—campers must follow Leave No Trace principles. No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables. RVs may access some spots, but there are no hookups. The area offers a rugged, secluded experience with forested terrain and mountain views. It’s near trails like Hessie Trailhead and Lost Lake. Best visited from late spring to early fall, G06L offers a quiet, back-to-nature escape for self-sufficient campers seeking solitude.

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.
