Summary
There are no fees. Amenities include pit toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, but no potable water or RV hookups (small RVs may fit). The sites are primitive and suited for tent camping. Surrounded by lush Douglas fir and pine, it's ideal for solitude seekers. Nearby attractions include the Upper Rogue River Trail and Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Best visited late spring through early fall for mild weather and trail access. Dispersed camping is also available nearby.

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.
