We stayed in spot number 16 since it was one of the few that wasn’t reservable. Most are reserved but there is a chart at the pay area. Number 16 was such a great spot but horrible for getting your stuff up that hill. I recommend this spot if you are staying awhile. It was close to Idyllwild, which was convenient when we ran out of ice. There are no bear boxes, not sure if it was needed though. For the best spots, make sure to reserve. Not sure where to go to do that but definitely recommended. We were far enough away from neighbors to feel like we were almost camping alone. The only reason I wouldn’t come back is because there was no water.

We only stayed one night. These sites are reservable and first come first serve basis. The nice thing is this place is open all year. The spots are far enough away for privacy and separated by really low trees. We have large dogs that are used to dispersed camping so they can roam, but if you have a family, this is a great spot. They even were doing a movie night for the kids. The staff was extremely friendly. The hike was short but nice. The sites we very very clean.

Went to Yankee meadows and the campground is closed, but dispersed camping is still available. Luckily we brought our portable stove and some other things we were able to get by on without and actual site. Also had to take trash with us. It doesn’t say when or if it’ll reopen.
