Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and there are no fees. There are no toilets, water sources, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV hookups; campers must be fully self-sufficient. Access is typically by gravel forest roads, best suited for tents and small rigs. The area is forested and quiet, offering a remote, rustic experience amid lodgepole pines with views of nearby peaks. Close to trailheads in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest, it’s great for hiking and wildlife viewing. Best visited June–September for mild weather and accessible roads.

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.
