Summary

No water, hookups, or reservations—campers must bring their own supplies. It’s ideal for tent camping and small RVs (no hookups). Nestled in a ponderosa pine forest along the scenic Eightmile Creek, the vibe is peaceful and remote. Nearby attractions include the Round Mountain Trail and Walton Lake. Best visited late spring to early fall, it’s perfect for hiking, fishing, and quiet nature getaways. A small nightly fee applies; no permits required unless for campfires during fire restrictions.

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.
