Summary

There are no amenities: no toilets (carry out waste), no potable water, fire rings, or picnic tables. RV access is possible via rough forest roads, but there are no hookups. The area sits on a ridge with sweeping views of Mount St. Helens and is surrounded by forest, offering a quiet, remote vibe. It’s near the Boundary and Norway Pass trails, great for hiking and wildflower viewing. Best visited late summer to early fall when roads are dry and skies are clear.

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.
