Summary
No reservations are needed; sites are first-come, first-served, and no permits are typically required. Fees may apply at developed sites. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and limited water access (seasonal—bring extra). RVs can access some areas, but there are no hookups. Nestled in a high alpine forest above Joes Valley Reservoir, the area is scenic and peaceful, ideal for fishing, climbing, hiking, and paddling. Nearby are the Left Fork of Huntington Creek and Skyline Drive. Best visited June–September for pleasant weather and full access.

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.
