Best view, but very dirty. We see in the river a lot of fish cadaver, that was very disgusting. The camp tabels are all very dirty, other persons let their meal rubbish there. And the firering was full of trash and sand- it was very difficult to have a fire in this. One person pissed in the small river while we want to have lunch. Only the view is very good. Not again, I'm sorry.

What I Love most about Taboose creek is that its quiet.Only the sound of the running creek,birds chirping & the occasional Raccoon,squirrel or lizard running through your campsite lol..Though this last visit was a bit windy with lots of clouds lurking above,it still was a very peaceful & relaxing experience.I am already looking forward to our next trip back.....Photos 9 through 16 are from our latest trip.Enjoy we sure did.😊👍

Camped out here in a truck bed tent. (Kodiak) temp was in the mid 30's. Very peaceful and very dark. Millions of stars in the night sky. Vault toilets near by and only $14 per day

Great location just off the 395, approximately 10 miles north of Independence. Majority of the sites are creek adjacent and flat. We set up a tent and two of our group slept in the back of the trucks, the breeze kept the mosquitoes off. There is no "site host" to monitor the campground and the people next to us had 4 cars and approximately 15 people at one site, so we moved to an open "walk-up" site. Campground has a little too much trash floating around, but it's not San Francisco yet, so it's doable. Built in firepits and ours had a grilling grate, my nephew caught 3 trout on a kastmaster, so you can catch your lunch/dinner. Restroom was clean!

Easy to pay to crash on the long drive down to SoCal in my own camper rather than a hotel. Beautiful sunrise and mountains all around.
