Summary

Permits aren't typically required unless for specific activities (check forest regulations). Amenities are minimal: no toilets, no water, and no hookups. Campers must pack in all supplies and follow Leave No Trace principles. Expect a secluded, forested setting with views over Swift Reservoir, ideal for solitude and stargazing. Fire rings or picnic tables are not provided. Nearby, enjoy hiking on the High Log Trail or fishing in surrounding waters. Best visited late spring through early fall, when roads are accessible and weather is mild.

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.
