This site books out almost instantly at the beginning of the season, so sites generally only come available when there is a cancellation. This year, the camp hosts are the single greatest I’ve ever seen. The fire pits are clean, tent sites are raked it appears, and the pit toilets are deodorized, decorated and scented candles are lit at night.
Construction or fire management, not sure which, removed a lot of trees from some of the sites, leaving them very barren, seems to only be 2 or 3, not sure of the site numbers
Location wise, the site is at 9400 ft so the temps are usually 20 degrees cooler than the city. Several trailheads to alpine lakes are in or near the trailhead. There is a small supply shack near the gate where you can get an ice cream after a hike.
