Go if

Self-sufficient tent campers who pack in all water and haul out trash will find a quiet, no-fee basecamp for Jennie Lakes Wilderness trails and the Buck Rock Lookout; July through September is the reliable window before snow closes access.

Skip if

One vault toilet for up to 20 sites is the real bottleneck on busy summer weekends, and with no potable water, no bear lockers, and first-come-first-served spots, anyone who needs guaranteed availability or basic services should plan elsewhere.

At Lake Hume, approximately 15 miles away, visitors enjoy swimming, non-motorized boating, fishing and hiking. The trails in the district are open to hikers, horses and bikes (however, bikes are not permitted in wilderness areas).</p><p><strong>Facilities: </strong>This campground has one vault toilet. Each site has a table and campfire ring. There is no water provided or food storage boxes. This is bear country and proper food storage is required.
