This small, first-come, first-served campground features six established sites with picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and seasonal potable water (check availability). No reservations or permits are required; camping is free. RVs can access the site, but there are no hookups. The vibe is rustic and quiet, set among Ponderosa pines near Foggy Dew Creek.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
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.
