Summary
There are no established campsites, reservations, or fees—camping is first-come, first-served and free. No potable water, toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, or RV hookups are available, so come fully self-contained. The area is best suited for tent or small vehicle camping and provides a peaceful, rustic experience under towering pines. Nearby attractions include scenic hiking and OHV trails, especially around the Aldrich Mountains. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall when access roads are clear and temperatures 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.
