Picnic table in the middle of the mountaind
We were heading to the other campground but saw à sign and stopped here. The views are not spectacular since you are in a little depression. But toilet, picnic table, structure to protect from the sun, firepits. Cant beat that for free.
Quiet and secluded
Only one other person camping in February. Large spaces, road to get there is paved but many large pot holes. Pit toilet could use attention.
How Sweet It Is!
We wanted to stay in Pinnacles National Park, but the campground was full. We ended up staying there the next day, but ironically, I liked Sweetwater much more. It's a somewhat long drive, but you're rewarded with decent solitude. There are only a few sites, so we got lucky. I was surprised how…
