Summary
Camping is free and no permits are required for individual campers. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups, though high-clearance vehicles can access the area. Set in a quiet, forested valley within the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, it’s ideal for campers seeking solitude and rustic experiences. Nearby trails offer hiking, wildlife viewing, and stream fishing. The best time to visit is June to September, when access roads are clear and the weather is mild. Pack in everything you need—and pack it out.

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.
