Summary
No reservations or permits are needed, and there are no fees. Amenities are minimal—no toilets, no potable water, no picnic tables, and no hookups; RVs are not recommended due to rough road access. Fire rings may be present at some sites. Nestled in a remote, forested canyon along the White River, the area offers a peaceful, rugged experience ideal for solitude seekers. Nearby, hikers can explore the White River Trail. Best visited in late spring through early fall when access roads 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.
