Fred Thomas Wildlife Management Area

Overnight camping happens in the parking area at this small wildlife management area, where one recent camper stayed in their vehicle rather than setting up a traditional campsite. Fred Thomas Wildlife Management Area provides basic toilet facilities and allows both drive-in and walk-in access along the river corridor.

The area supports hiking, kayaking, and swimming activities, though campers should expect minimal developed infrastructure beyond the restroom facilities. For those wanting more traditional camping amenities, Long Pine State Rec Area offers developed sites with additional services.
