However, potential visitors should be prepared for the remote location and the challenges it presents. It is recommended to bring adequate supplies, including bug spray, and to be aware of wildlife. The campground's remote location and lack of mobile signal contribute to its rustic appeal, but also require careful planning and preparation.

Good camp spot. You'll need a high clearance vehicle to drive the trails to reach it. Lots of fire wood onsite and already set fire places. Just keep and eye out for bears and there is no mobile signal.
Hard to find at night... but great location with quick access to Yosemite. Mosquito Heaven in July... So bring your bug spray! Easy access on dirt road with some patch of sand (if you are on a motorcycle, watch out for those areas).
Seriously. Yosemite is a madhouse of people. Every single campsite booked. All it took to find a campsite was to cross park boundaries into the Sierra National Forest ,and we found this site up a really dusty and somewhat treacherous road. Poach a shower at the Wawona, and head across the road and up this hill. There were several campsites and we were the only ones there.
no facilities, no water, just super primitive.. but not busy at all and nature is plentiful... has tiny creek and ground staying semi wet around, causing all kinds of flowers and berries to grow throughout the summer.
very nice place to camp during spring and mid fall with such beautiful fall colors.
5/9/2025: Difficult to get to but quiet and peaceful. Many logs down on the mountains but they were cleared off the roads. No amenities but a few rock rings. Roads have big washouts. Chowchilla at Summit is an axle eater if you drop in the side rut. Chowchilla at Tenmile is for rock climbers only. Not passable for a Tacoma 4x4 with off-road pop-up camper. 2 good bars with Verizon in camp. Update: I’m not familiar with winters up here. It’s possible that we got here before the heavy equipment fix-it crew has come to open the season.
