There's more than 40 National Forest campgrounds throughout the Gifford Pinchot NF, several which allow reservations. It is the peak of deer fawning and elk calving season. Young wildlife is extremely vulnerable now and we should do anything we can to NOT disturb them. Taking the family dog out on camping or hiking can, and many times each year does, cause loss of life for young animals and birds. If you plan on taking your dog onto the forest, remember to bring a lease and use it.
