Haypress is relatively close to the Tennessee Valley trailhead parking lot. There are several sites arranged in a linear fashion and a large group area. If it's a sunny day then you'll get lots of light/heat as the trees are to the west of the campsite. As backpacking sites they are some of the larger I've seen. Overall the campsite is roomy. Expect lots of bird activity in the morning.There is no water at the campsites, nor is there water at the trail head. No fires allowed. There are bear boxes to hold your food. The pit toilets are some of the nicest and cleanest I've seen. You can get a parking permit when you make your reservation. **There is no play structure at this campground. The auto-selected images Google provides depict a structure on Catalina Island (??)

Good place, cheap, but the 1 mile walk becomes tiring to camp, carrying everything that is needed seems to take a long time, this place would not be my choice for next time, The place is calm, quiet and has many rabbits jumping along the trail. Only defect is that we cannot stop the car near the camp. And walk1 mile..

Campground itself was really nice, bathrooms were also clean, it is a hike to get there, don’t make the mistake I made that I forgot something while at the campground and had to hike back to my car to get it lol. But all in all nice campground and far enough away from houses to enjoy.

Great small campground, very close (0.7mi) to trail parking. About 5 spots starting with #1 nearest to camp entrance/bathrooms stretching to #5 toward the rear of the camp. Very quiet @ night with active owls, squeaking trees and rustling leaves. Highway by Marin can be perceptible depending on temperature and winds. No Fire Campground - Will get very dark @ night. Moonlit only. 🤘⛰

A good camping site if it is your first time. Very small , only five spots, a little bit far from the parking place.
