Low Impact Camping Guidelines and Regulations
In addition to following the regulations, the BLM encourages ALL visitors to further minimize their impact by practicing the following "Leave No Trace" user ethics.
- Please camp in designated sites only (see map).
- Avoid trampling vegetation or creating new tent sites or trails at existing camps.
- There are no toilet or trash facilities along the river or at the put-ins/take-outs. Please pack out ALL your trash (and a little extra)!
- Save our Cottonwoods. Please use a camp stove whenever possible. Fires are limited to driftwood and charcoal fires ONLY.
- Fire pans are required. Ashes must be packed out.
- Keep kitchen areas clean by using floors or tarps. Wash dishes and bathe 150 ft. Away from water sources. Use biodegradable soap sparingly and not in springs and side streams. Strain dishwater and pack out residue. Dispose of dishwater in the main current of the river.
- Leave natural objects and cultural artifacts where you find them. It is illegal to remove artifacts.
- Avoid disturbing wildlife and other visitors.
River Courtesy
- Leave plenty of room for others using the put-ins and take-outs by consolidating your gear and moving the vehicles off the launch sites as quickly as possible.
- When traveling in a small group, pick small campsites and leave larger sites for larger groups.
- Motorized craft should slow and yield plenty of room to non-motorized craft.
- Respect others desire for solitude.
