Lovely place to camp. Well water is available. Verizon cell service is a short hike up the hill, but it is quite a steep hill. Creek was perfect for wading into and cooling off. Fish were visible. The turn off is well marked. Camp hosts checked the bathrooms regularly. Even on a busy summer weekend, space was available. Lake Alpine Lodge/store was about 15 minutes away, in case you forgot some essential. Mosquitoes were present but abate the moment one applies repellant. Truly a great place.
Super great campground! There’s a giant meadow just walking 20ft from our campsite. The spaces are super spread apart and everything is well taken care of! Will definitely be going back
Great small campground alongside Pacific Creek in the Sierra Nevada Eddet Pass, Hwy 4. Affordable price but you have to pack out everything that you packed in.
Love it here
