Nice Spot

This camp spot is nearly perfect.  Very remote, epic views, solitude. Only thing I was surprised to see were so many other campers at this spot.  Was busy for middle of the week.  Other than that, I had fun camping here.  Definitely going to want a 4x4 driving up to this spot in any poor weather conditions.

Up, Up, and Away!

I was super lucky to arrive at Mahogany Flat on a weekday and there was only one other party camping there.

I want to say there were a minimum of 10 sites, but maybe more.

If you're planning a hike of Telescope Peak, I'd highly recommend utilizing this campground as a basecamp to get an early start to the hike.

The sunrise views down into Death Valley were epic (even with the wildfire smoke) and the peak hike was a nice mix of challenging and breathtaking terrain.

Bring a bunch of extra water and take it slow on the way up. It's quite the climb, so be gentle on your vehicle!

Best spot to escape the heat

Great campground, road up was not as bad as people had described. Did see a couple sedans parked up at the top but would recommend a vehicle with higher clearance.

Got to the campground around noon and 80% of the spots were full. But people were leaving after there hike so new spots became available later.

We forgot to check if we could take our dog on the hike but lucky you can go on the service road which was completely empty and still had amazing views.

Would have given the site a 5 but our spot had a lot of bees, thankfully they all disappeared once the sun started going down.
