Road from Utah was drivable (4/3/2023) with 4WD high clearance, but would not try it with a regular passenger car until the road is graded and fixed again.

Campground is nice, quiet, remote and free.

Mid week in August. Only ones camping in what appears to be a campground of years gone by. We like the views. A bit highway noise but not bad. Verizon has three bars LTE. Worked for a zoom meeting. There is a pit toilet.

Close to the Bay Area and probably one of the better options.  It can get crowded over the weekends.

Looks like they recently increased the price for campsites, which makes it easier to find/reserve a site.  Not sure that this was a good thing, but it is what it is.

Overall, the experience falls and rises with your neighbors, and you probably know what I mean.  The sites are reasonably spaced.

Lots of foxtails in case you have dogs, but this is CA and they are everywhere.

Along a National Forest Service Road are 4-5 pullouts with great views of Mono Lake and the adjacent small crater.  You can walk up the crater or hike down to the South Tufa area.  

The road gets a little rough and soft after the 4th site. 

Good Verizon service (4G/LTS, 4 bars).

This is a primitive campground near a unique geological and biological site.  The area is relatively pristine and we hope that it will stay this way when you visit.  Please take all trash out including TP.  Campfires are not allowed here; there are no pre-existing sites and fire rings.  The ash/sand might be a little soft for securing tents.  When there is wind, it really blows.
