Hikers and bikers can access this dispersed camping area along the Medano Pass route, though high-clearance vehicles are recommended for the approach road. The primitive sites sit within wooded terrain that offers limited flat ground for tent setup. Campers report finding secluded spots among the trees, though site selection requires some searching due to the uneven topography.

RVs are restricted to 15 feet maximum length given the challenging access conditions. Campfires are permitted, and the location provides access to fishing opportunities and trail networks. For those needing more developed facilities, Medano Creek offers additional camping options to the southwest.
