We did not camp here, but we did an 8 mile day hike to the river. This was a gorgeous spot with clear, well maintained trails. The scenery is unmatched. This is definitely a diamond in the rough.

I come here to enjoy the lack of people and glorious detachment from civilization. However, there are little to no amenities here, so be prepared if you come to camp. A vault toilet is open some of the year, but there is no running water at all. The sites are best suited to tents, and none seem accessible to RVs or trailer campers. This campground is also pretty far off the beaten path, so be read... I come here to enjoy the lack of people and glorious detachment from civilization.

This campground is also pretty far off the beaten path, so be ready for a 30 minute drive minimum to get to some semblance of humanity, which is really a general store and restaurant at Vallecito. Worth the trip every time.

Primitive camping currently $20/night with picnic tables and fire rings. Vault toilet as well. Suitable for tents, car camping, and maybe a small trailer (pop-up, teardrop, 20ft maybe) in sites 1/2 or 3/4
