Summary

There are no amenities—no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups—so it's best for self-contained campers. RVs can access the area via forest roads, but high clearance is recommended. Located in the Shoshone National Forest, the site offers a quiet, scenic alpine setting with dense forests and mountain views. Nearby trails include access to the Absaroka and Washakie Wilderness areas. The best time to visit is summer through early fall, when roads are passable and weather is mild. Expect solitude and rustic, off-grid 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.
