Summary

The cabin requires reservations through Recreation.gov and charges a nightly fee; dispersed camping is free but primitive. There are pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at the cabin site, but no hookups or potable water—campers must bring their own. RVs can access the area with care. Surrounded by pine forest and mountain views, it’s ideal for hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Nearby trails include Lilly Lake and East Fork Trail. Best visited June–September for mild weather and trail access.

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.
