Free camping in national wildlife refuge

Multiple free camp locations with 5 or 6 sites each throughout the refuge. Camping in designated sites only. This is one of the few NWR you can camp in and its beautiful. Fire rings and vault toilets. Obey burn restrictions as some other campers were not. Very remote with no cell service, great wildlife viewing. Also grizzly bears in the refuge.
