About

The campground offers sweeping panoramic views from Ray Ridge looking into the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, making it a scenic basecamp for backcountry exploration. The campground is primitive with minimal facilities: a single vault toilet and picnic tables. There is no potable water, so campers must bring an adequate supply.

The campground is popular with hunters and hikers seeking solitude and wilderness access. Wilderness restrictions apply when entering the adjacent Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness.
