Customer Reviews
Sometimes it is not just clean bathrooms that can make a stay at a campground enjoyable. After chatting with Brianna and her husband, I realized how lucky I was to have finally met truly friendly and helpful camp hosts. I’m spoiled now tho and want to clone them to take with me to every campground I’m going to next! Fun, good people who clearly love what they do. They take great care of the campsite too, as other commenters have mentioned. Do yourself a favor and go say hi to them at the camp host site when you are there. I highly recommend them and the campground.
Spent 4 days there with a tent. We had a spot close to the creek and loved its sound (also protected us from the occasional noise from the road). We also had enough shade from the nearby oaks. Other spots are much sunnier and may get very hot during the day. Very clean toilets. ||Negatives: There were no showers (went to Chevron in Independence and paid $5/person) and the tap water was brownish.
Beautiful campgrounds water is running a little slow this time in July but other than that, it’s a nice place to take the wife and kids
One of the best camp spots for dry camping in the area. A short drive from Independence and a 15-20 minute drive from Lone Pine makes I easier in case you forgot something or if you want to go eat at a restaurant. The spot had great fishing and a beautiful stream running through it. I camped in my 35' trailer which had barely enough room for the spot I chose. There are no hook ups. Water only. No dump site and vaulted toilets. Additionally the camp hosts were extremely helpful and nice. Also the vaulted toilets we're immaculate. Cleanest toilets I had ever seen in any camp site. As a word of caution the wind did pick up around 5 every night so if it starts make sure to tie things down. It definitely can blow pretty hard.
An amazing place and if you’re lucky enough there’s plenty of sites with the creek right behind you where you can take a dip in the river
