Fantastic backpacker campsite

Reservable backpacking sites about 45-60min away from nearest parking.

Fire pit, shelter, and picnic table at site.

Really enjoyed the hike through forest to get to this site.

Area has extensive trail systems.

Was remote, quiet, and beautiful.

Clean, with very nice luxuries.

You can rent backpacking shelters, at the ranger station in Eagle. The shelter is basically a barn without a front door. It comes with a fire ring, table, and an outhouse! It’s along the ice age trail and offers stunning views for easy hikes.
