Good dispersed camping area

This is a nice camping area, right next to Silver Lake (2.6 miles). It’s off of hwy 88 so you can hear the cars a little. We stayed there for one night. Looked like there were 6+ sites, some of them having fire rings. There were 2 toilets there at two different spots, overall clean. The ranger drove by in the morning to check on things, refilled TP and removed some trash that was there. The only down side is that there were tones of mosquitos when we went. We moved to a spot that was more open and didn’t have much trees around, and it was better. We have AT&T and didn’t have cell connection. No trash service - pack it in pack it out

Great spot for dispersed camping.

This is dispersed camping at its best. We just spent 5 days there (July 2020). Pit toilets, bring your own TP, what was there ran out quickly.  You can hear the highway noise at night but still very peaceful.  Some sunny spots and some in the trees. Ranger came by one night to check on things.

Hwy 88 - good spot to know about

Found this campground when all the main ones along HWY 88 were full. This campground is east of Silver Lake on the north side of Highway 88. It's dispersed camping, but there are toilets and several sites have fire rings. No picnic tables. If you like more secluded camping, you should be able to find a nice shady spot here!

Several trails can be explored from here.
