Summary
There are no established campsites—first-come, first-served with no reservations or fees. No toilets, water, or hookups are provided; campers must pack in/out everything. Fire rings and picnic tables may be present at some spots. RVs are allowed but space is limited and best suited for smaller rigs. The area offers a quiet, wooded experience with scenic forest views and proximity to lakes like Jeanette and Nels. Ideal for solitude seekers, paddlers, and hikers. Best visited late spring through fall; be prepared for bugs in summer.

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.
