Summary

No reservations are required, and camping is free—permits are not needed for stays under 14 days. Campsites include picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets; however, there is no potable water or hookups. RVs are allowed, but the area suits smaller rigs due to limited turnaround space. The forested, high-alpine setting provides a peaceful, rustic experience with nearby access to popular trails and wildlife viewing. Best visited from late June to early September, when roads are clear and temperatures are 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.
