Summary
The area primarily supports dispersed camping near the historic Granite Creek Guard Station (available to rent via Recreation.gov, reservation required). There are no established campsites, and no fees for dispersed camping. Amenities are minimal: no water, no hookups, and only a vault toilet near the cabin. Fire rings and picnic tables are available at the cabin site but not guaranteed elsewhere. Best for tent campers or small RVs. Surrounded by scenic forest and near trails like the North Fork Entiat River Trail, it’s ideal from late spring through early fall.

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.
