Great after a long days drive!

We stayed here for only 1 night. But we were driving all day and just wanting a nice place to crash for the night, this place was a nice choice. It is dry camping but does have a few toilets and they take cards with a machine to make things easier for nightly payment. They also book reservations online. They also allow longer term stays and provide a phone number for a mobile sewage pickup for RV's. The surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains were beautiful. They did allow OHV access, so for some people looking for peace and quiet this is not the place. Weekend has dirtbikes and quads throughout.
