Beautiful and desolate

This was a beautiful and desolate campground looking out in the valley below and Shoshone about 35 miles in the other direction. I saw two sites, both with fire ring and picnic tables with a vault toilet nearby. If there are other organized campsites I am not aware as did not go down the dirt road. Not a “camper friendly” site but 4x4 and motorcycles are easy. There was no cell signal and given this site is in CA, a campfire permit is required. The permit can be obtained at a BLM or online after watching a two minute video and taking an eight question quiz.
