Summary
There are no amenities: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or fire rings—campers must be fully self-contained and practice Leave No Trace. The area is forested and lakeside, offering peaceful seclusion and scenic views of Granite Lake nestled in the Selkirk Mountains. Access is via a rough forest road; RVs are not recommended. Popular nearby hikes include the Granite Lake Trail and views from Abercrombie Mountain. Best visited mid-July through September for snow-free access and mild weather. Ideal for experienced, minimalist campers seeking solitude and alpine beauty.

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.
