Summary
There’s no potable water, so bring your own. No reservations or permits are required—sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and camping is free. The campground is remote and quiet, set in a high desert landscape with sparse trees, open skies, and scenic views of the surrounding mountains. It’s suitable for tents and small RVs, though there are no hookups. Nearby attractions include Craters of the Moon National Monument and local ATV trails. Best visited late spring to early fall for mild weather.

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.
