Quiet area with a stream close by making for a relaxing ambiance of white noise. Views from everywhere. Just beware of the numerous cow manure pies. Very small area of service for T-Mobile, though slow if able to find. Plenty of room for large RV's. Pit toilets and dumpsters available. Easy campground to access, though stream sees severe fishing pressure. No sign of any campground officials during... Quiet area with a stream close by making for a relaxing ambiance of white noise.

Northeastern part of park experiences to the right sees frequent commercial truck traffic passing through that area.

I don't know how to use the "rooms" or "service" stars option as this is just a campground but we came here and just used the area for the day and absolutely loved it. It is super remote and there was only one other person in the entire camp when we were there and we never saw them. We just saw their RV. There were some big trucks that utilize the main road but they didn't interfere with us at al...

Super cool... We will absolutely be going back!

Tinnemaha camp grounds in an absolutely gorgeous spot to get away from the city, the campsite does not have beds, electricity or any other "hotel amenities" you might expect, come ready to park and set up camp! If you're coming with a group, Tinnemaha is perfect, the creek is perfect for cooling off after hiking & baking in the sun! Definitely worth a desert visit! 🏜

this is an amazing gem! Warm weather next to snow-capped mountains - bliss! I was here in beginning of June & the weather was PERFECT - a sharp contrast from the Santa Cruz mountains I just come from where I was freezing! the evenings were so incredibly pleasant & while the sun did beat down during the day, it was time to just hang out in a shade structure whether it's your own or under some of... this is an amazing gem!

(bring a hammock to hang by or over the river!) (you can also fish for trout!) I will definitely come back & I'm told it's very easy to drop in without a reservation as the place is not very well known.
