I've been here about a dozen times. Some nice views, right along the PCT, has fire pits, and a vault toilet AND picnic tables. Sometimes it can be windy. We brought extra rations of soda and snacks for the thru hikers (I believe this spot is around mile 500 from Mexico, on the way to Canada). I was camping in my roof top tent when a bear came through a few of the camps, so you'll want to be aware of that. I had a cooler WITH NO FOOD just plastic water bottles, and the bear still bit into the cooler probably from previous experience assumed food was in there, but it wasn't a big scare or anything. I had heard the bear has been through camp before. I take my 2 and 5 year olds with me each time I camp and they love the area.

It’s a nice campsite ,, I really don’t think u need 4x4 since it’s mainly a dirt road ,but if u need the reassurance then u should ,, I went about 5 miles in my Tacoma prerunner trd off road 2 wheel, high clearance and AT tires and u should be good ,,, really beautiful views once up there ^_^

Beautiful. Definitely want 4x4 or big tires for the last bit of the trail. Vault toilet was open and had t/p. Fire rings, pick-nick bench’s, and trash can.

Great camp, no utilities. Fire road access only so 4x4 vehicle is recommended.

Hard to get to...don't bring your RV. We enjoyed winter tent camping, access to the PCT, and beautiful views.
