Great campground where you are just 20 ft or so from the Owen's river. Picnic tables and firepits are in campsites, nothing else. It does have some pit toilets, and it does have a well with good drinking water which is tested once a month.

It looks like a lovely spot but totally hard to secure a site. The site we picked showed open. The kiosk didn't work. There's no internet service but it says to book online through RA camping app. We had to set up our Starlink to get on the internet and after figuring out how to navigate the RA site, it wouldn't let me pay. I finally found where it said all sites must be reserved 24 hours in adva... It looks like a lovely spot but totally hard to secure a site. The site we picked showed open. The kiosk didn't work.

I finally found where it said all sites must be reserved 24 hours in advance. How can you have a walk up site a day early? There are a couple tents and a half dozen camper rigs. The campground is nearly empty so that's a lot of sites setting empty because there's no way to pay day of arrival. We considered leaving but instead, being honest as much as possible, I paid for the next day even though we won't be here. So, currently you can't stay if you arrive the same day.

We found this campground very confusing, here's why: First, there's two types of campsites - reserved online and walk up only sites. So it you are arriving without a reservation, you'll need to note the available walk-up sites before you choose one that someone else reserved. Second, there's not very clear boundaries between sites and the markers are at the BACK of the sites, not toward the fron...

Second, there's not very clear boundaries between sites and the markers are at the BACK of the sites, not toward the front. Once you find a site and get set up; however, the location is peaceful and the scenery and mountain views amazing. One word of warning to note is about the raccoons; they are marauding little beasts! We put our cooler on our rooftop rack and they climbed up the hood and onto the roof to try to plunder it! Also, very nice to have clean bathrooms and garbage collection readily available here as well. We hope to visit this beautiful place again soon!

Love this spot. I've been going here for years. Great fishing, quiet, and nice views in every direction. Bathrooms are pits, but if you're into the rugged, this is the place to be.

Pleasant Valley Camp Ground is a mile off of 395, 12 miles west of Bishop. Small park with some sites along the river (small as it may be). It's quiet except for an occasional car going by. I am here in late October so it's cool with night time temperature down in the 30's. I would come back here. $14/night no hook ups.
