Summary
There are no established campgrounds; only dispersed, hike-in sites are available. A permit and reservation are required, and a nightly fee applies. Amenities are minimal: no water, no hookups, and only vault toilets. Campers must pack in all supplies, including drinking water. No fire rings or grills are provided—fires are prohibited. The scenery is stunning: desert terrain, crystal-clear Devils River access, and excellent stargazing. Best for experienced campers; nearby activities include paddling, fishing, and hiking. Best visited in spring or fall.

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.
