Summary

A free Bridger-Teton National Forest permit may be required for overnight stays. There are no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or RV access. Campers must follow Leave No Trace principles and pack in/out everything. Nestled in a high-alpine meadow surrounded by rugged peaks, it provides a scenic, remote wilderness experience. It's a popular stop along the Teton Crest Trail, with access to nearby alpine lakes and dramatic mountain views. Best visited July–September when snow has melted and conditions are most reliable for hiking and backcountry camping.

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.
