Multiple designated backcountry campsites (9U1, 9U2, 9U3, 9U4, 9U5, 9F1, 9F2) are available with advance reservation and permit; the first campsite is about 6 miles from the trailhead. Campsites feature campfire rings and bear food storage. A nearby thermal pool (Ouzel Pool/Scout Pool) offers swimming opportunities.
