Plan & Prepare

Porta potties will be on site. There are no showers, so plan accordingly and come prepared for winter camping conditions.

This is the mountains in winter. Expect cold temperatures, possible snowfall, and rapidly changing weather. Bring insulated layers, waterproof outerwear, gloves, beanies, and a cold-rated sleeping bag. Sturdy, waterproof boots are a must for navigating snow and uneven terrain.

If you’re driving, be sure to check road conditions and chain control requirements before heading up. Winter travel can change quickly, so plan ahead and give yourself extra time. It’s also a good idea to bring a shovel to help clear and manage your campsite.

We love this landscape and want to keep it pristine. Pack out everything you pack in, including all trash and food scraps, to help protect the environment and local wildlife.

There are no electrical outlets in the camping area. If you need to stay powered, bring a portable power bank. That said, we encourage you to unplug and take in the experience. Outlets are available within Kirkwood’s main facilities if needed.
