Situated in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, just at the southwestern park border, by Bechler’s trailheads and Cave Falls, the 23 pleasant woodsy sites line a river cliff offering a slight breeze to ward off mosquitoes. Sites feature picnic tables, fire rings and grills. Vault toilets, bear boxes and water are available.
