The site was large enough for 2 4-person tents and 1 large 8-person tent. We did not realize we were sharing a restroom with the Clyde Glacier Group Site. So, you had 2 restrooms for over 35 people. Also, the Clyde Glacier group shared the same trash bin. The trash bin is located at Palisades Group Site. Also keep in mind this site was infested with bees. We had one person get stung, but the bees were attracted to the food. Best time was at night; view of the stars was incredible. Great site if you are going to do the big pine hike. Overall, we had a great time exploring nearby at Mammoth which was 40 minute drive.

Great amount of space for 4+ people, excellent valley views, and streamside feel. Palisade Glacier campsite was secluded from other campers and had 4 parking spots with 4+ spots for tents. There was also a nice dumpster and 2 bear boxes for food. 2 potable waterspouts are accessible near the campsite along with 2 bathrooms. About a mile from the Big Pine trailhead, so I recommend driving to the day use parking lot for hikes.

The perfect campsite for our trip. The site host was friendly, knew the area well and dealt with all issues with ease. There are two large bear boxes, a self locking dumpster and two shared vault toilets between the other group site and this one. There are multiple areas to set up tents too. We were greeted by a black bear around 5:30pm, which was about an hour after we had arrived. Please be sure to keep all food and anything with scent in the bear boxes at all times! The site is approximately a mile down the road from the Big Pine Creek trailhead and there is a little campsite near there called Glacier Lodge, which has some supplies, hot foods and ice.
