Summary

Access is typically by river (rafting or kayaking); there’s no road access. Amenities are minimal: pit toilets may be nearby, but there’s no potable water, picnic tables, or hookups. Campers use natural fire rings; bring your own supplies and pack out all waste. Surrounded by rugged canyon walls and pine forests, it’s remote and serene. Ideal for backcountry rafters, with trails and hot springs nearby. Best visited late spring to early fall for pleasant weather and accessible river flows.

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.
