This is a pack in camp with wall tents and cots and wood stoves. This camp has great success rates and everyone that hunts out of this camp wants to come back. This camp is generally booked at least a year out if not 2 so get on the books early. again this camp generally 100% success on bull elk. Porcupine Camp: This camp is used mostly for a hunting but we do a lot of pack trips into this camp as well. Views that are unsurpassed and great high country stream fishing. This a very productive Elk hunting camp and the deer hunting is on it's way back. Green River Camp: This camp offers 3 brand new cabins, a cook shack and dining area and a shower tent.
