Beautiful, quiet little spot. Creek runs right through and is very pleasant to listen to as you fall asleep at night. Great view of the Sierras. Facilities are nice and clean, as much as vault toilets can be at least. Very close to Independence so very simply to do runs from camp to the store. And only 5 minutes or so from Oak Creek Dispensary 🍁

Walk through there a few days ago. They have pit toilets, a few shade trees, fire rings although fire restrictions are in effect at this time. Being towards the end of September there is no water running through the creek. They do have water spickets. In my opinion there will be better places to camp. Very close to town which makes it a nice place to stay if you want to visit the town.

Great location for campers needing an overnight place with plenty of potable water. Easy access, some shade and pit toilets. The restroom were the biggest negative and compared to most of the other campground the worst (oder wise) the stench was almost unbearable. The stream while rather small one of the best positives. Clean clear alpine water. Not the best as far as views, pinetreesetc.
Sugarloaf Sanctuary
Perfect little campground
Silvia Fernstrom
Great spot with a view of the mountains on the tent side. Not a lot of people for a Friday night which was nice. The stream is a medium level of noise but very soothing. Better than expected

Quaint little campgrounds. Close to town for supplies. Pretty quiet during the week but weekends can get busy. Vault toilets dumpsters and there is water at half of the sites. Trees along the river act as a windbreak. Not all sites have shade. There are picnic tables and fire ring or BBQ stands at each site. The river drowns out most noises. Dogs okay on a leash. No on-site host but someone comes by everyday to check the bathrooms and trash.

We went but they didn't have water on at location so we went somewhere else.

Very little shade. Tons of broken glass throughout the campground. Has 2 nice creeks and a couple of trails but no info posted about them. There is water and pit toilets available.

Cool campground. There are restrooms and drinking water, fire rings and seating places provided, no shower. We have seen, that the gast station close by hast showers to use, we haven't tried them. There is a small river flowing through the campground, awesome for a refreshing shower, but cold ;) 14$ per campground. Awesome view surrounds the campground.
