Run down, time to update

While this is definately a primitive campground, I can find better primitive spots with no amenities.

It does have pit toilets,(nasty), tables and metal campfire rings, the spots are cramped and ontop of each other.

Most spots are right next to the rock, cobbled dirt trail.

Across the trail is Desert Creek. You may want to take a dip in it to beat the heat in this volcanic, willow lined canyon.

If you are on the long journey to cross country to Mt. Patterson or Bridgeport, you ca fid way better spots farther in besides here. But if need be an overnite, well.....I wouldn't.
