Summary
There are no amenities: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups. Campers must be self-sufficient. RVs can access the area, though high-clearance is recommended. Located in a high-desert plateau near the Lost River Range, the experience is remote, quiet, and scenic with sweeping mountain views and stargazing opportunities. Popular nearby attractions include the challenging hike to Borah Peak, Idaho’s tallest mountain. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall when roads are clear and temperatures are moderate. Campers should follow Leave No Trace principles.

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.
