Permanently closed

We talked to the owners of the nearby Pine Creek Cookhouse and they said that both Castle Creek and Pine Creek campgrounds are permanently closed. We drove out there to camp and were disappointed when we couldn't find any campsites. If you follow the dirt road towards Pearl Pass there are a few dispersed sites but that's it.
