Summary

There is no potable water—bring your own or treat creek water. Dispersed camping is also allowed nearby. No reservations or permits are required; there’s no fee to camp. Tucked in a lush forest near the clear-flowing Selway River, it’s peaceful and remote, ideal for solitude and nature lovers. Hiking and fishing are popular, with trailheads nearby. Summer through early fall is the best time to visit due to snow and road conditions earlier in the season.

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.
