A hard hike up from the Loma Alta trailhead, but there are beautiful shady sycamore trees here, a clean outhouse, and a streambed with seasonal water. Be sure to bring a water filter!
Grass shack is just ok in my opinion. Manning camp is way better.
Very nice hike up the grass Shack three campgrounds with a drop toilet to Bear boxes and water in the creek not running but large pool it filtered fine and was very cold.
So peaceful and secluded. There are three campsites and a water source right nearby in order to do some water filtering. Very pretty area, and well worth the hike!
Nice campground with a seasonal water source and pit toilet
