Summary
Reservations aren’t required; sites are first-come, first-served, with a modest fee. Amenities include vault toilets, potable water (seasonal), fire rings, picnic tables, and hitching posts—no RV hookups, but rigs up to 30 feet can access. Nestled in a peaceful forest setting near the Indian Heaven Wilderness, the area is ideal for trail riding, hiking, and fall huckleberry picking. The best time to visit is late summer through early fall when trails are clear and wildflowers bloom. It’s a serene, rustic camping experience with scenic mountain views.

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.
