Great campground

The camp sites aren't too close together, they have picnic tables, fire rings and grills, and there's a toilet. I saw that there was a trail head at the back of the campground. I didn't get a chance to explore the trail, but I will next time.

Definitely Recommend

This place has always been one of my favorites! I’ve stayed here a few times, with a tent trailer, and in a tent. Both ways are awesome. Beautiful creek runs through the campground. Some campsites have picnic tables, which are super handy. Mosquito Lake is just up the road, as well as some nice fishing spots along highway 4 going towards nevada. Down in the valley there is no service, but you can drive up to the top of the hill if you need to send a message! I would recommend this place to anybody, I hope to make it up there this summer!

Beautiful and peaceful

For beauty and solitude alone this is a five star spot. Follow the dirt road into the little valley and soon a beautiful meadow opens up ahead with a small creek running through. Sites are located along the meadow and around a loop in the back portion of the campground where there’s a trail head into the wilderness. Camping here requires some planning ahead as there is no potable water available and only pit toilets but the trade off is the incredible scenery and peaceful surroundings. Keep your eyes open for horses and cattle!
