Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free but first-come, first-served. There are no toilets, water, picnic tables, or fire rings—campers must pack in and pack out everything, including waste. Fires are prohibited except in portable devices during fire restrictions. The experience is remote and peaceful, with scenic lakefront views, forested bluffs, and access to fishing, boating, and nearby hiking. Best visited late spring through early fall when lake levels are higher and weather is mild. RVs and hookups are not accessible.

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.
