not a bad site. Pretty good hike to get there from the parking lot down on highway 1 by the ranger station. About 3-4 "sites" to find to pitch a tent or 2. Very shady area and I went in August 2021, drought in full effect, and the creek was somewhat running. I was told that this camp area usually has water and that 's it pretty reliable and consistent. Overall a great 1st backpacking trip for... not a bad site. Pretty good hike to get there from the parking lot down on highway 1 by the ranger station. About 3-4 "sites" to find to pitch a tent or 2.

Villa Camp is probably the most pleasant campsite in this part of the Silver Peak Wilderness. The camp sits on a shelf immediately adjacent to Villa Creek, which looks like it should flow year-round. It's also in the middle of a small redwood grove, so it will be shady and comfortable even in the middle of the summer. The site has a picnic table, a single fire ring, and room for about three tents... Villa Camp is probably the most pleasant campsite in this part of the Silver Peak Wilderness.

The trail down to Villa Camp from Upper Cruickshank Camp is steep and narrow, but fortunately short enough that the climb back up isn't all that bad.
