ScoutNowhere else in Sierra Nevada can you get this. Just minutes from shaver lake and less than an hour away from so many iconic trailheads and wilderness areas. 45 mins from Snow at China Peak, 38 mins from the world's largest trees, dinky creek wilderness area. But the property at music creek was so stunning I didn't leave the property boundary the whole time I stayed. Enhanced buy all the gushing water. And the hosts made me feel so welcomed and relied on, I'd definitely recommend.
GuideHere you are in the middle of the June Lakes Alps. Quiet campground with ample hiking opportunities close by. Adjacent marina lets you rent kayaks, paddle boards, or pontoon boats. Easy walk to June Lake Brewery. We got a wonderful site last week of May just driving up mid week. They had several open spots though mostly filled by evening.
TravelerLots of ticks! be prepared. other than that, our camp was wonderful. there were many other groups camping in this area which provided a sense of comfort. there’s a spot to throw trash away safely. really great.
GuideThe park was nice for the most part. Little on the expensive side for what you get. Every site has power. The sites I saw were all dirt, not sure if they have nicer sites or not. The site wasn't level but was manageable. Bathrooms are outdated but clean, and they charge you an extra $5 to use the showers. During the time I was there, it was a 2 night minimum, which h sucked cause I was just passing through. It's a large park so they always seem to have room even for last-minute bookings.
GuideIf you enter from the Tamarack trail head and go down Rock Creek Rd its easy to get to the overlook tower. If you enter from the Dinkey Creek entrance get ready for some good offroad ohv trail action. I was able to get my 13ft offroad camper up there but it was a struggle. OnX has that section labeled a 6/10. Plenty of places to disperse camp with awesome views of the lake.
TravelerWe booked this last minute over the phone, we were very impressed with the spot, next to the pool, clubhouse, fire pit. I do see that other spots are more crowded but overall the property is gorgeous and its a great fun family friendly place. We walked to pines village and got some souvenirs and ice cream. Great weather too. The river is also right in front of where we parked but it did not have much water.
GuideClose to Yosemite entrance, which was great. Stayed about a week which also crossed over Memorial Day weekend. Arrived the Tuesday before. This place gets CROWDED. At 5:30 it’s like everyone got off work and headed home, it’s nuts. Everyone picks up after themselves which is nice. Some spots are secluded, most are not. Trash cans at the sno park - no bathrooms. I will say if it’s a holiday weekend and you leave camp headed into town be prepared for at least an hour in traffic due to backup from the park entrance
GuideWe have a site with electric and water for hook. Bring a long hose and power cord to get more flexibility about how to position your rig. There is a fire ring and picnic table on site. The site is spacious but mot much privacy from the neighbor. Was here in late May and hardly anyone here.
ScoutGreat spot near Yosemite south entrance. Very quite and private.
