Amazing scenery. Great place to camp, hike, and fish. Bring good bug spray.

My favorite camping area in California, primitive camp which keeps it available for diehards. The granite canyon downstream from the campground is stunning.

Do not go in the summer unless you want to be eaten alive by mosquitoes. I am still suffering the scars of the one night we spent there. It is also pretty neglected so the rocks are big and the road is not very even. Also, the one toilet is so far away from the other end of the campground. It will take you a long time to walk there.Don't call and ask the ranger station. They don't know why no one... Do not go in the summer unless you want to be eaten alive by mosquitoes.

The ranger told me that there is good fishing and camping which might be true but the mosquitoes stopped us from staying too long. We saw a deer up there and late at night thought someone was walking around even though we were the only campers there. There is a camp host at this site but no one was there at the time we went camping. We went there because my husband has wonderful memories of when he went camping a long time ago. But things have fallen apart since then and the bugs are overwhelming.

This is a primitive campground and the pit toilet is a long walk for people not in the horse campground. The campsites are spread out along a beautiful Creek, which gives privacy, and some of the sites have space for 3 or 4 tents.
