North entrance was closed but southern entrance at Vincent Gap was open. All-wheel-drive Honda CR-V with high-clearance managed the road pretty well. Nobody was at the campground due to north closure so it was a pretty nice having the pick of any spur I wanted. Decent bathrooms but bring water.

4x4 or AWD access recommended. Although other vehicles were able to get up the camp site dirt road (Late August) 6 sites. Walk up only. Adventure Pass Required. Nice shady trees. Mosquitoes will eat you alive during mosquito season. Flies are everywhere. Bug repellent helps alittle. Lots of hiking opportunities. Happy Camping!

My favorite hidden gem. No potable water and few other sites. Truly an escape.

As far as close campsites, this one is our fave. Just a hop, skip and a jump from home (Palmdale) and you're in the mountains surrounded by trees. Being the end of the line, this site is usually the least crowded of those in the area. Don't be put off by the prison camp next door (no, really). Site offers parking and pit toilets. There is no running water and a forest adventure pass is required.

I checked this place out once and decided not to stay here. Too much litter/food all over the place. Like halved tomatoes and stuff it was gross and I didn’t feel like cleaning it up or dealing w the rats and other animals that would likely come to feed on it. Cool area to drive around though
