Summary
Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and RV access (no hookups). No potable water is available—bring your own. Nestled in a high-alpine forest at ~10,000 feet, the campground provides a serene, rustic experience with stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Popular with hikers accessing the Cottonwood Pass and New Army Pass trails into the John Muir Wilderness. Best visited late June through September when roads are open and snow-free. Quiet, remote, and ideal for solitude and stargazing.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
