This elevated dispersed camping area offers some of the best views along the northern Dalton Highway, sitting on a knob overlooking endless tundra and distant mountains. Multiple pullouts accommodate everything from tent campers to large RVs, though the gravel sites can be rough and uneven. The elevation here means cooler temperatures even in summer, and the constant wind keeps mosquitoes somewhat manageable.
Access is directly off the Dalton Highway with no side roads to navigate. The area sees heavy use during hunting season and can fill up on summer weekends. No facilities whatsoever—pack out all trash and bring your own water. Weather changes fast at this elevation, so come prepared for sudden temperature drops and high winds.
