Great campground where you are just 20 ft or so from the Owen's river. Picnic tables and firepits are in campsites, nothing else. It does have some pit toilets, and it does have a well with good drinking water which is tested once a month.

Had a great time with the family. Easy to access and far enough away to feel disconnected. Camp sites are marked and in good shape. Definitely recommend going there. The river was easy to fish and trap crawfish.

Love this spot. I've been going here for years. Great fishing, quiet, and nice views in every direction. Bathrooms are pits, but if you're into the rugged, this is the place to be.

We found this campground very confusing, here's why: First, there's two types of campsites - reserved online and walk up only sites. So it you are arriving without a reservation, you'll need to note the available walk-up sites before you choose one that someone else reserved. Second, there's not very clear boundaries between sites and the markers are at the BACK of the sites, not toward the front. Once you find a site and get set up; however, the location is peaceful and the scenery and mountain views amazing. One word of warning to note is about the raccoons; they are marauding little beasts! We put our cooler on our rooftop rack and they climbed up the hood and onto the roof to try to plunder it! Also, very nice to have clean bathrooms and garbage collection readily available here as well. We hope to visit this beautiful place again soon!

Pleasant Valley Camp Ground is a mile off of 395, 12 miles west of Bishop. Small park with some sites along the river (small as it may be). It's quiet except for an occasional car going by. I am here in late October so it's cool with night time temperature down in the 30's. I would come back here. $14/night no hook ups.

Was a good time until about 11:30pm when we were awoken to find that the guys from San Diego camping next to us thought it was a good idea to have a campfire in 20 mph winds, catching the campground on fire. Quite an ordeal these geniuses created. Lucky it wasn't much worse and nobody was injured. Had to evacuate around midnite and sleep near highway exit with a bunch of other refuges.
