Campground itself could use more shade, but that can't be helped. We had a vault toilet,dog friendly area, and an excellent opportunity to see a piece of history with cave pictographs an easy quarter mile away. Picnic table and fire ring.

Amazing cave. Awesome to see the protective bars. To many people destroy things like this. The campground is very rustic. Small spaces. Trees tight. Could barely fit my full size truck through the camp. Couldn't imagine towing something or having a camper. Trail was well marked and clean.

Easy 1 mile hike from the campgrounds. Amazingly unique paintings you wont find anywhere else.

Very remote and yet nice campground. Stayed there for 2 nights in July 2021. Had the whole place to ourselves (no one else camped there). No water, so you need to bring every drop, bottle, bucket...... yourself!

Secluded, we saw nobody else while we were there. Clean bathroom (cleaned weekly in season judging from the chart on the door), but there’s no way to lock the door. Short hike to Toquima Cave, short drive down the road to Spencer Hot Springs. Loved it here.

Early season camping last week with snow on the ground. Mud was heavy but had warmer temperatures that made the day fun to get out and explore. Love the pinion pine forest and harvested a few of the nuts which were very sweet.
