Managed by the USDA Forest Service, this dispersed camping area sits in the backcountry of northern Idaho near Naples, drawing campers who want free, undeveloped access to national forest land. No fees apply. Amenities are minimal by design, so self-sufficiency is essential. Nearby, Summit 55 provides a developed alternative for those who want hookups or established facilities. Campers comfortable with primitive conditions and carrying in their own water and supplies will find this a workable base for exploring the surrounding forest.
