Summary
A permit and fee are required (book via Recreation.gov). Amenities include a vault toilet, wood stove, fire ring, picnic table, but no running water or hookups. RVs not recommended. Set in a remote, high-desert forested area along the Fremont National Recreation Trail, it’s ideal for solitude, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Expect stunning views and quiet starry nights. Best visited late spring through early fall for mild weather and trail access. Bring your own water and supplies—this is true off-grid camping.

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.
