First visited in 2016 as part of a men’s group where we camped together by luck we had adjoining campsites that gave us the opportunity to have a meeting place right outside our tent doors due to it being a first come and first served campsite. Well designated parking area, greeting/visitor center and seasonal cafe/grocery store. The access to the JMT is only a 1/4 mile from our site Airy, clean and plenty of water access points with semi primitive washrooms, and some primitive outhouses sprinkled in this place. Fire rings are deep and always cleaned Campsite hosts are great, and you also have the search and rescue team that resides there as your neighbor which is a plus.

Very well set up campgrounds with plenty of electrical, non-electric sites. Very few primitive sites, if that's what you're looking for.

Trail system is divided into North and South. North trails are scenic, with a casual non-technical difficulty to them. South trail system is challenging, especially because of the varied terrain it traverses, however they (N&S) systems are prone to serious erosion that needs to be addressed. Campsites are ample, and plenty to choose from.

I'd go back a few more times during the year.

Every so often I find myself looking for a little exercise outside the regular trails, or roads. This is just one of those hidden gems. Nice campsites, fire pits, and your choice of electric or non electric sites. Even the primitively selections are a nice find.

Checked out their trail system, and some are short jaunts with a little water view (Lake Mi.), while others are a tad more challenging that have trees surrounding your route(s). Some of the trails weave through the dunes, exposed to wind, sun, and rain/snow during seasonal weather patterns that you may find while out there.
