White Oaks Campground

Pros: Beautiful views of Carmel Valley. Really isolated = great star gazing. Cons: Poorly maintained including one vault locked. Mosquitoes were thick in late June. I’m from Florida and have never seen anything like the mosquitoes here.

You need at least 8 inches of clearance on your vehicle I recommend more though and I don't know if they have water but great campround

Nice spot... shady Glen my friend Peaceful,not on a through road Only fellow campers, a couple locals Maybe once in a while. Piney Creek is even more better, if you can find it.

Nice, basic campground. The final 5 miles up the hill to reach the campground are rough and would not recommend taking a vehicle that's not 4 wheel drive. The campground has 8 sites, would recommend staying in 1-3, as they are more private and spaced from the others. Very remote & beautiful views driving up the hill. Has toilets & trashcans, no running water. Lots of mosquitos.

I was really looking forward this camping trip, but this camping site was so disappointing. The campground website was misleading and should have had information on it that it did not. First off, the website told us we can have fires in the fire pits and we can use stoves, but when we got there, there was a sign up saying no fires of any kind. This is completely understandable given all the forest fires in California, but the website should have clearly said that. We needed a fire to cook some of our meals. Also, the website failed to mention we needed 4 wheel drive to get there (there were signs all the way up to the campsite that read "4-wheel drive needed from this point on"). Also, there is absolutely no privacy between each campsite. I would describe it as being one campsite that they tried to section into 5 tiny campsites. Finally, the amount of flies and wasps was ridiculous. During the day, there was always a swarm of flies around us. I am not exaggerating when I say there were about 100 flies in front of my face at all times. We ended up barely spending time at the campsite because it was so unpleasant. And 50 wasps would swarm us as soon as we opened food (Note: I do NOT blame the website for this. It did warn us to bring bug repellent, but bug repellent just didn't work). Anywho, if you are considering coming here despite my ranting, know this: campsite 1-3 probably have the most privacy, so use those ones if you are only going with a couple people. Campsite 4-6 are really close together, but I am sure it would work fine if you are going with a large group. Also, bring a bug zapper, bug repellent, and anything else that will kill flies and mosquitoes. Pretend you are going to war, and it's either you or them. There also isn't a ton of things to do in the area. The website said there was hiking nearby, but it did not provide the location of the trails, and there was not information when we got there. I'm sure the campsite could be nice if there were less bugs and you go with a large group, but in my experience, it simply was not worth $70.
