Summary
No reservations or fees are required, but a free backcountry permit is needed. Amenities include pit toilets and fire rings, but no water, picnic tables, or RV access (tent camping only). Tucked in a scenic canyon with cottonwood trees and a nearby stream, it offers a peaceful, remote vibe. The popular Jones Hole Trail leads to Ely Creek Falls and connects to the Green River. Best visited in spring to early fall for mild weather and fewer mosquitoes. No hookups; pack in water and necessities.

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.
