Summary
No reservations are needed—sites are first-come, first-served, with no permits required. There's a small fee ($10/night). Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and space for RVs (no hookups or water). Tucked in a scenic forest near the Big Lost River, it provides a peaceful, rustic experience with mountain views. Nearby trails, fishing, and ATV routes make it a great base for outdoor adventures. Summer to early fall is the best time to visit, when roads are passable and weather mild. Managed by the Salmon-Challis National Forest.

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.
