Peaceful and accessible

Nicely kept campground. Good for all types of camping. There are toilets, showers, sinks, and potable water stations. Camp sites have a fire pit, bear box, and picnic table. The weather was cool at night but warm during the day.

Lost hills Desert

The place is clean and well managed. It’s hot and dry and flat, with very little shade. I stopped for one night because I just needed a place that had electricity and hook ups. This place fits the need. 👍 and the price was reasonable.

Quiet, beautiful location

We came here for 3 nights and are pleased at how quiet and dark this campground is at night. In May, the snow is still visible on the peaks but the temperature is comfortable at around 68 during the day.
