Summary
No reservations are required, and camping is free with a Northwest Forest Pass. There are no amenities—no toilets, water, or hookups—so come prepared. Some sites have fire rings, but always check fire restrictions. The area is best for tent campers and self-contained RVs. Expect a quiet, rugged experience with incredible views, thick pine forests, and stargazing. Popular nearby hikes include Burnt Lake and Zigzag Mountain. Best time to visit is late June through September when roads are clear and trails are snow-free.

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.
