I was here on 7/19/22. Even with how dry 2022 has been, the creek was flowing well, and the big creek crossing down the road was almost too deep for a motorcycle to ford. There is a small creek you can walk to from the North end of the campground to filter water from. The campground is laid out in a line so you won't have too many other campers near you even if the campground is busy. There are two vault toilets, one at either end and ~10 sites with cement picnic benches and most of them seem to have fire rings. There's 1 or 2 additional sites near the big creek crossing as well.
Nice little campground next to a the small Bear creek that usually flows all year. Has fire pits and 2 vault toilets but no water
3 of us camped here in October for a week on the last week of deer hunting season. Nice picnic tables and fire rings. There are 2 toilets, one at each end of the campground. The campground stretches along Bear Creek, which was flowing well in October If driving from Lower Lake, you have to cross a creek, and I recommend a four-wheel drive with high clearance.
Many free primitive campsites, 2 pit toilets. No water spigots, but there is a running creek.
Too hard to access. Four wheel drive and high clearance vehicle required. More than 1.5 hours from Clear Lake. Very primitive facilities.
