Summary

There are vault toilets but no drinking water, hookups, or trash services. Some sites have picnic tables and fire rings; RVs are allowed but without hookups. Set in a scenic, grassy river valley along the Judith River, the area is open, quiet, and remote with rolling hills and scattered pines. It’s ideal for fly fishing and wildlife viewing, with nearby trails like the South Fork Judith Trail. Best visited late spring through early fall for mild weather and accessible roads.

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.
