Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. There are no amenities: no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables, making it best suited for self-sufficient campers. RVs may access it depending on road conditions but should be high-clearance. Set in a forested, high-country setting, F296 provides a peaceful, remote experience with access to hiking trails and nearby attractions in the Bighorn National Forest. Summer through early fall is the best time to visit due to snow closures in winter. It’s ideal for those seeking solitude and rugged, natural 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.
