I dropped off PCT travelers who decided to skip the rest of the high desert trail during a 107' heat wave. I had never been there and was delighted with what I saw. Plenty of trees and shade and a very clean campground.
Free, primitive campground. I went there on a Tuesday in late July and only saw one other person pass through in a truck. It was a little too lonely for me so I left and went to Kennedy Meadows. The campground is made up of a series of clusters of camp sites spaced out along the creek. There’s plenty of shaded spots and it’s a very beautiful setting. I checked out the creek for a second. Heads up, lots of ticks and mosquitoes. This would be a great spot to camp with a group of people in smaller trailers.
Nice little stop off point. Kind of the oasis on this Back Road.
I had an amazing memorial day weekend here with some of the best people, and it was just being done out of the kindness of there hearts, beautiful campground I will be back
Looks like BLM has ignored this place. Only users are probably thru hikers and deer hunters. It was a perfect getaway.
