Summary
The area features primitive sites with pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, but no potable water, hookups, or reservations—first-come, first-served and free. RVs can access some spots, though sites are best suited for tents or small trailers. Surrounded by old-growth forest and wildlife, with nearby trails like the Moose Creek and Kelly Creek Trails, it’s ideal for solitude and nature lovers. Best visited late June through September when roads are clear and fishing is prime.

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.
