Summary

Camping is primitive: no toilets, running water, or amenities, so visitors must pack in/out all necessities and follow Leave No Trace principles. Fire rings and picnic tables are not provided. RVs can access nearby roads, but the area itself is best suited for tent camping. Surrounded by lush forests and near Jackson Falls and the River to River Trail, it’s popular with hikers and climbers. Visit in spring or fall for mild weather and vibrant scenery in this peaceful, remote forested setting.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
