Summary
Located in the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest, it's a remote, forested area ideal for solitude seekers. There are no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups—campers must be fully self-sufficient. Fire rings may be user-made; check fire restrictions. Accessible by high-clearance vehicles, the area is near scenic trails like the Gospel Hump Wilderness and Getta Creek Trail. Best visited in late spring through early fall for mild weather and clear access. Expect a peaceful, rugged backcountry experience surrounded by dense forest, wildlife, and stunning mountain views.

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.
