I will upgrade the stars when the campground opens. A little bummed out today when I rolled up and it was closed. Beautiful drive going up there and lots of turns so make sure you got your GPS plugged in.
A hidden gem- clean, nice, well-kept. Spent a couple nights here during the summer and enjoyed a relaxing stay. Bathrooms are some of the nicest pit toilets I’ve come across.
If you’re considering a stay here you might not want to count on a last-minute arrival as spots fill up quickly on a first-come basis.
Beautiful spot. Walking distance to a pristine lake in the mountains. Roads were fairly rough within the campground itself, but passable. No Verizon cell signal. Sites are big and surrounded by tall pines
A good place to camp in privacy. Enough space for two cars and two tents. There’s a table and a fire place with lots of wood lying around. Best part is that this site is walking distance from Castle lake and a bunch of hiking trails. Remember this is not a reservation based site. First come, first serve. There’s no fresh water available. But there is a stream passing by. There are a couple of washrooms on site but with no water and hardly any maintenance. Overall a very good camp site with a few amenities.
Enjoyed *trying* to hike in the snow around Castle Lake in May. Made it .75 miles in before the snow was [still] too much!
Beautiful lake, creeks, and steams in the snow. Saw some researchers from Nevada getting water samples.
