Summary
Dispersed camping is permitted in designated areas, and a wilderness permit is required (reservations strongly recommended via Recreation.gov; fees apply). There are pit toilets, but no potable water—campers must treat river water. No fire rings, grills, or picnic tables; campfires are prohibited. Set in a lush, forested valley with dramatic mountain views and seasonal waterfalls, it's accessible via a 13-mile hike on the Enchanted Valley Trail. Best visited late spring through early fall. Popular for backpackers seeking solitude and natural beauty amid old-growth forests and scenic river meadows.

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.
