Summary
No reservations, permits, or fees are required. Amenities are minimal: no toilets, no potable water, and no hookups, but some spots may have informal fire rings. RV access is limited and best suited for high-clearance vehicles. Nestled in a peaceful forested setting within the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forests, it offers solitude and rustic charm. Nearby trails and the South Fork Clearwater River provide hiking and fishing opportunities. Best visited late spring through early fall when roads are accessible. Perfect for campers seeking a remote, off-grid experience in wild Idaho backcountry.

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.
