Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. Amenities are minimal—expect pit toilets at select locations, no potable water, and limited picnic tables or fire rings (bring your own supplies). RVs can access some areas, but there are no hookups. The experience is remote and peaceful, nestled in a lush, forested valley popular for fly fishing and wildlife viewing. Nearby trails include access to the Clearwater National Forest. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall for mild weather and open roads.

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.
