Summary

There are no fees for dispersed camping. Amenities are minimal—no toilets (you must pack out waste), no potable water, and no RV hookups. Some sites may have fire rings or primitive seating. The area is forested and remote, ideal for solitude and a back-to-nature vibe. Popular nearby trails include sections of the Border Route or Kekekabic Trail. Best time to visit: late spring through fall for fewer bugs and accessible trails.

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.
