Description

Dispersed camping on the Hebgen Lake District of Custer Gallatin National Forest. You need to be self-contained. No amenities are provided; such as water, restrooms or trash cans. Please pack out all your trash. Please use existing fire rings and avoid creating new fire rings. Firewood permits are not needed if wood is used on the forest. If wood is transported home for personal use, you will need to purchase a firewood permit at the closest district office. This permit should be obtained prior to you gathering or transporting any wood. Camping is limited to 16 days in any one campground or location. Keep a clean camp. Store all food and wildlife attractants properly. Food Storage Order requirements are in effect Forest-wide March 1- Dec 1. Dispersed camping means no bathrooms and no outhouses. That means extra care has to be taken in disposing of human waste. To dispose of feces, dig a hole six to eight (6-8) inches deep at least 200 feet away from any water source. When you are done, fill the hole with the dirt you dug up and take your toilet paper with you to dispose of in a proper waste container. Never defecate or leave toilet paper on top of the ground. Do not simply cover it with a rock.
