Camp Paw 2025 will be held at the “Lewis & Clark” and “York” group sites at the Hellgate Campground from August 7th, 2025 at 5 PM to August 11th at 11 AM. In total these group sites contain 25 individual campsites, and 2 pavillions with picnic tables. Also included are campsites 6-10 for a total of 30 available sites.

Due to restrictions on the Group Use sites, Regular and Sponsor registrations do not include camping! A campsite within Camp Paw's Group Site can be reserved here on this registration page for $48 for all four nights. These campsites are expected to be shared by a few people, and only one person in the group needs to pay the reservation fee. Alternatively, campsites outside of Camp Paw's Group Site are reservable on recreation.gov, also at a cost of $48 for 4 nights. Finally, one can stay off-site overnight and only attend Camp Paw as day trip(s).

Sleeping or staying overnight within the Camp Paw group site, but outside of a designated and reserved campsite, is not allowed. Individual campsites within Camp Paw may only have one sleeping unit, such as a single tent, camper, or RV. Note that the campsites within Camp Paw are very close together. While you can reserve a campsite within Camp Paw, you can not pick out an individual campsite in advance; campsites are claimed upon arrival to Camp Paw. The $48 campsite cost only has to be paid by one person in each campsite. For example if there are three people staying in a single campsite and they share the cost equally, then the total cost is $15 (Regular registration) + $48/3 (Campsite cost) = $31 per person.

Camp Paw is an outdoor camping event! You are expected to bring appropriate clothing for the conditions, your own food and cooking equipment, and your own sleeping unit (if staying on-site overnight).

Parking at Camp Paw is limited, please make efforts to carpool and travel efficiently.

Bathrooms, water, and trash service are available. Power is not available, and cell phone coverage may be spotty or non-existent.
