Briggs Forest Camp

Today, Briggs camp is a cozy, primitive campground. But in the late 1950s it was a thriving logging camp that was owned by R.A. Briggs. Enjoy a night under the stars at Briggs Camp or during the day explore nearby Stump Lake or Clearwater River. There are no garbage services at this campground, so please be prepared to pack out your trash. 

Reservations

This is free, first-come, first-serve primitive campground.

General Information

Please follow the guidelines below to ensure your pets remain welcome to visit the Forest in the future:

  • Leave vicious or unusually noisy dogs at home.
  • During the day keep your dog on a leash no more than six feet long or otherwise restrict its freedom to roam at will. Domestic animals are not allowed to run loose in recreation areas where they will disturb others.
  • At night keep your dogs and other pets inside an enclosed vehicle or in a tent.
  • Dogs may not be left alone at your campsite, picnic area or in your vehicle.
  • Never leave your dog alone in a closed vehicle or tent even for a short time. It may whine or bark while you are away.
  • Clean up after your pet. It will only take a few minutes, and there is no single action that will more favorably impress your fellow campers.
  • Whenever possible select a campsite on the edge of the campground and away from the shoreline.
