Summary
It’s free and first-come, first-served, with no reservations or permits required unless accessing Yellowstone. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables. RVs can access the area via dirt roads, but there are no hookups. The camping experience is remote and quiet, surrounded by meadows, wetlands, and forested hills. It’s ideal for solitude, wildlife viewing, and fishing. Nearby trails include Gneiss Creek Trail. Best visited in summer and early fall when roads are passable and conditions are mild.

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.
