Neither water spigots are working.It was clear that the manager hadn't been there in a week. The garbage cans were overflowing. No reservations were posted at the sites. People arrived only to find that someone had taken their site. One such person had to find another site and then got booted from there when the person who reserved it showed up. It was chaos.It actually is a pretty and very quiet campground, though.

Beautiful campground, numerous trails right near parking lots, perfect altitude for acclimating. You can see and hear 2 waterfalls and a nearby creek running through constantly. Wonderful green noise : ) Road to get to campground is steep grade but in great condition. Did Kearsarge Pass from here and it was a great experience. Only downfall was that the restrooms/pit toilets had no toilet paper the 3 days I was there. Thankfully I had my own. Otherwise clean, quiet, and beautiful spot to start or end a backpacking trip : )

Onion Valley is a little 'Rustic', definitely for the hearty of spirit. Water would be nice. The sites were suitable, the location was just beautiful. Took the extra few mile trip up the mountain for the experience, well worth it!

No water available. Must bring your own.

Closed the camping 1 hour prior to my arrival and then would not issue a refund. 5 days later and the fires are no where near the camp site. If we are going to be alarmist at least offer a refund.
