Summary
There are no reservations, permits, or fees required. Amenities are minimal—campers will find no toilets, water, or hookups, so plan to pack in and pack out. Some sites may have fire rings, but amenities vary. RVs are not recommended due to rough access roads. The area is serene, surrounded by wildflowers in summer and near trails like the Pacific Crest Trail. Best visited July–September for snow-free access and clear views. It's ideal for solitude seekers and seasoned backcountry campers.

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.
