There are lots of different spots with fire pits once you get into the canyon. Lots of firewood as well."

"Close to Markleeville and convenient to pop over to the town and pick up things from the general store. The campground is small and it’s more of a “passing through” spot."
"The camp host was super nice and a beautiful stream runs next to some spots. There is a dirt road to get there and it’s a bit steep but loved the area!"

$55 / night
"Great place to camp if you want something quiet away from everyone you can use campsite 10 which is on the river and away from everything."
TravelerGreat find! For a free spot, it was clean and had pit toilets, bear boxes and fire pits. Plenty of space between sites, some creekside, and access to trails and the Virginia lakes resort is a 5 minute drive. Bodie ghost town and Mono lake are great day adventures from here as well.
ScoutStopped by Iron Mountain this morning on my way down 88. Not a sole in sight at this old abandoned ski resort.
A few rock fire rings but I think camp fires may be banned.
Lots of piles of logs so it may be busy with logging equipment, etc during the week.
Good place to stop at for a night. Not too much noise off 88 since its so close.
GuideGreat location to the TRT. Stayed here the night before getting on the TRT. Very quiet and plenty of sites open. Down side is all the used TP along the logs. Please leave no trace behind or use the clean pit toilets. Definitely will come back to this campground. The creek is nice.
TravelerCamped a little over 0.5 miles from the Hot Springs parking lot. Dirt road had 5-6 other groups on it. About a 10-15 minute walk to the bathroom at the Hot Springs parking lot. Stargazing from the hot springs was awesome!
ScoutHad to check out a few spots to get WiFi AT&T one bar the sun set are awesome can see colors in the sky for a good two hour
ScoutIt's really hard to get more information or pictures of the camp. Obviously, the page is setup to the Dyrt application and must be downloaded into your phone.
You are not going to get any information if you don't do that. Disgusting how they are trying to get money no matter what.
GuideIf you like to fish and hike this is a lovely place. Pro-tip: the spot next to the camp host is the best. The ones down the hill by the river are smaller, dark and cold.
TravelerMax overnight stay = 1 night at trailhead (other nearby THs are Bell Meadow & Gianelli), and dispersed camping is allowed. Medium sized parking lot, plus a few back-in sites. Popular with hikers/ backpackers & horses. 3 mi RT to Camp Lake, 8 to Bear Lake. I will try Lilly Lake next time. Good places for swimming.
