Quiet with large shaded sites within walking distance to river

Would love to go back with friends or for a quiet get-away!

This is a quiet, forest service campground just off Hwy 395 that is great for tent or camper (no hook-ups) camping. It's a medium sized campground that appears to rarely fill up. The sites are spaced well apart, among lots of pines with good shade on nearly every spot. You can hear the highway from most spots, but it's very quiet in the upper spots. There is at least one stream through the campground, flush toilets, water spigots, and a few large trash cans. There are fire rings, though you should check the fire regulations for your trip.

The Walker River is across the street, within easy walking distance. I saw a trail in the campground, but not sure how long or where it goes. Otherwise the main activity would be fishing/enjoying the river.

I really enjoyed the solitude, quiet, and mountainous surroundings!
