Summary
Permits aren't needed, but stays are limited to 14 days. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or fire rings, so campers must pack in and out. RVs can access the area via forest roads but without hookups. The setting is serene, forested, and high alpine, offering solitude beneath ponderosa pines with views of the surrounding mountains. Popular nearby attractions include Boggy Draw trails and McPhee Reservoir. Best visited late spring through early fall for ideal weather and road 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.
