Summary

No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. Amenities are minimal: no toilets, no potable water, and no hookups. Campers must be self-contained and follow Leave No Trace principles. Some spots have informal fire rings and flat areas suitable for tents or small RVs. Nestled in a scenic, forested valley with views of high alpine peaks, Geneva Park provides a peaceful, off-grid experience. Nearby attractions include the Geneva Creek Trail and Shelf Lake. Best visited from late June to September when roads are accessible and weather is mild.

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.
