Summary
No reservations or fees are required, and permits aren't typically needed, but check with the Shawnee National Forest office for updates. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or fire rings, and RV access is limited due to rough roads. Campers must pack in/out and follow Leave No Trace principles. The area offers a peaceful, forested setting near the scenic Garden of the Gods and Rim Rock trails. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and vibrant foliage.

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.
