Off-road vehicles handle the rough access road better than standard cars at this dispersed camping area within Umatilla National Forest. The Forest Service manages this paid site where campers can bring pets and enjoy campfires under forest regulations. One reviewer notes that four-wheel drive is recommended and warns that no water sources exist nearby, not even a creek.
Campers should pack all water needed for their stay and prepare for primitive conditions. The site accommodates both drive-in and walk-in access, though vehicle clearance matters for the approach. For those exploring the broader region, dispersed options near Umatilla National Forest provide additional primitive camping choices.
