Customer Reviews
Yes, this campground is remote and the road to it either way is pretty rough, the South approach being the worst. I was there 8/11/07. Firefighters staged there for the Skeleton Fire that lightning started near Thistle Glade Creek in Sep. 2017.
It's a beautiful campground with a large open meadow in front and a very primative road that goes through into a shady stand of oaks. There were two total picnic tables in the whole area, and maybe 4 fire rings, but plenty of open space. No bathrooms, and no drinking water, but there was a creek running down a steep ravine on the edge of the campground. We drove in heading East from Elk Creek on Rd 308, then South on the M3. The road is windy and gets a little rough right North of Lower Nye Campground, but we left and went South down the M3 to Upper Lake, CA and the road was much worse. You have to drive through 3 creeks and there was much more washed out road to slowly crawl through. I recommend the Northern route if you're choosing between the two.
