Summary
No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. There are no amenities: no toilets, potable water, fire rings, or picnic tables. Suitable for tents and small RVs, but no hookups are available. Located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest near Yellowstone’s southern boundary, the area provides a secluded, forested setting with access to fishing and nearby trails like the Falls River Trail. Expect a rugged, backcountry experience ideal for solitude seekers. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall, when roads are dry and accessible.

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.
