A very nice campground. No running water but there is a creek that runs through so if needed you can filter water. There is a store on site and they sell fire wood. Easy to find and locate your spot. Bathrooms are clean and don't smell.

Beautiful, quiet campground, with lots of shade. Clean vault toilets, no running water. Look at the campground map and get a site next to the creek 👌.

Beautiful campground surrounded by snow-capped peaks and tall trees with lots of shade. Goid privacy between most sites. Excellent hiking from camp and close to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest for terrific views and more hikes.

A great campground, clean and nicely laid out. Very good spots for vehicles with tents, and several very suitable for small trailers or RVs. Notably, when you enter the driveway you are actually entering a separate RV trailer campground. Drive through that, heading back East, and you will find a Park Service sign indicating you've come to the correct part and correct campground.

Beautiful, special place next to a river. Hiking access to some of the best views around with the Big Pine Lakes and the glacier. Non smelly pit toilets and I think the store is open now. Sleeping at 7700' MSL. Store is open. Update: no bears have been seen yet this year at the campground per host. showers are $7 at lodge - you bring the supplies. New photo.
