Summary
Dispersed camping is also allowed nearby. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, but no drinking water, hookups, or trash services, so come prepared. RV access is limited to smaller rigs due to rough roads. Nestled in a high alpine forest near the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, the area is scenic and serene, ideal for solitude seekers and hikers. Popular nearby trails include the Elk Summit to Burnt Knob Lookout. Best visited July–September when roads are clear of snow.

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.
