Peaceful in a Valley w/ Creek on one side-mountains on two sides-and a beautiful valley below. Can see (but not hear highway 395) trail in the distance. Winds were calm-creek sounds to sleep to-dark skies to star gaze. Bishop temps ( not high in hills).Tap water-vault toilets-table w/ lantern hangar. No critters paid visits to my tent.

Great free campsite. Not too crowded and so peaceful, right next to a creek. Our dogs had such a great time exploring here.

Good place to stay for the night, only $10! Comes with a camping table, fire pit and vault toilets which were clean. First come first serve camping, but there were plenty of spots when we arrived. No shade so it was a pretty hot during the day but very nice to stay for one night. Wasn’t sure if there was water available, there a spout but it said “not for public use” 🤷🏼‍♀️ so we didn’t use it.

Stayed one night in our 40 ft motor home. Beautiful views of the eastern sierras lots of different types of set ups from campers to tents to 5th wheels. The park is long and skinny so if you park at the furthest site, it’s a long walk down to pay for your camp site. Only $10 for the night plus $10 (if you want to use their dump station. Definitely worth it. Sadly, it appeared there was an elder homeless man with a walker living out of his car. You’re able to stay 14 days before you are required to move on. There is a $5 discount if you joined the senior all access pass to BLM land which I believe is $60 per year. We cooked on the fire pit they provide and stayed indoors. There was a rushing creek nearby which also was refreshing to hear.
