Summary
No toilets (bring a trowel), no potable water, and no picnic tables or RV hookups—this is true primitive camping. Some sites may have existing fire rings. Tucked in a quiet, forested setting in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, it’s ideal for solitude-seekers and nature lovers. The area is near the Illinois River and popular trails like the Illinois River Trail, offering scenic hiking, swimming, and wildlife viewing. Best visited late spring through early fall, when roads are clear and the weather is mild. A free, remote, rustic camping experience.

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.
