Nice spot off the road to boondock, with great views both directions. We pulled in on a Thursday afternoon and didn’t have any problems finding a good spot (make sure you have your levelers packed!) But it did get VERY crowded on Friday night. Lots of tent campers as well. We drove down “Galloping Goose” road/trail (turn off to the left after you turn into the Lizard Head Pass camping area) on the way to hike to Lake Hope (highly recommend!) and there were some great pull offs on this road as well. Some will accommodate a trailer, but I wouldn’t recommend pulling anything really large back there.
If you are pulling an RV in, use this pin for directions, not the one to the south. I’m glad we came, but be prepared that the road is HORRIBLE. We were pulling a 21’ camper and would probably not have tried to get here had we known how bad the road was. We are not looking forward to driving back out!
There were a couple of small RV parking areas, but more tents. RV camping was in the more open area about a half-mile from the trailhead. We are right next to a stream, with an established fire pit. There are some pull off spots before the trailhead, but you will not be able to turn a camper around at the trailhead, due to the number of parked cars.
The hike is wonderful, but fairly strenuous if going past lower blue lake. But we made the 4.5 mile hike to the middle lake to get pictures of lower blue from above.
Still a great camping site, but just be prepared for a VERY bumpy, narrow drive
If you are pulling an RV in, do not use this pin for directions, use the one north of here, which lists boondocking. I’m glad we came, but be prepared that the road is HORRIBLE. We were pulling a 21’ camper and would probably not have tried to get here had we known how bad the road was. This pin is at the lake, but the lake is over 3 miles from the trailhead. We are not looking forward to driving back out!
