Summary
There are no established campsites, toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups, so campers must be self-sufficient. Fire rings may be found but are not formally maintained. Tucked within Shawnee National Forest, the area features forested scenery with rugged bluffs, making it peaceful and remote. Nearby attractions include the River to River Trail and Garden of the Gods. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather and vibrant foliage. High-clearance vehicles are recommended for access, and RVs are not advised due to rough roads and lack of amenities.

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.
