Devils Wash Basin

This hike-in campground requires backpackers to carry gear to lakeside sites above Devils Wash Basin. WiFi access provides connectivity despite the remote setting, while campfires are permitted for evening warmth. The single trail leads to elevated camping spots overlooking the water below.

One camper noted the site's appeal but warned about deteriorated restroom facilities positioned directly above a water collection area that drains into the main lake. For easier access, Vaca Camp sits just east with standard vehicle entry.

Pretty but the RRI needs work

This was our second night on trail and was a very pretty campsite and maybe even my favorite but the RRI was in rough condition with it sitting above a pool of water so you would be pooping down into a small pond filled with other poo and that would flow into the lake but other than that it was a pretty campsite with a nice view
