Summary

No reservations or permits are required, and there are no fees. Campers won’t find amenities here—no toilets (pit or flush), no potable water, no fire rings or picnic tables, and no RV hookups or designated pads. This remote, forested area provides a rugged, back-to-nature experience amid high alpine scenery and wildlife. Nearby trails offer hiking, horseback riding, and access to fishing. Best time to visit is late summer through early fall for mild weather and accessible roads. Prepare for primitive camping and pack out all waste.

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.
