Bugs towards the ends of dinner time. Outhouse was shabby but adequate. However the scenery is fabulous and the trails are difficult & it's all so worth it!!!

Campsite 2 was honestly great. Close enough to the toilet but far enough where we don't get any smell. Plus, it's well-shaded and has a beautiful view of the stars.
When, we went there was no other campers so it was very secluded and serene! You can smell the pine trees. One of the best camping experiences. Highly recommend. Just bring lots of bug spray and be prepared since help is miles away. Also, bring layers because it does get pretty cold at night even in the summer. Happy camping!
Oh, and the drive up wasn't the worst. At least the road is paved. Just honk on turns.

Only 6 Campsites so it's easy to break it down.
Site 1 & 6 are first come first serve only.
Site 1 - Up front with a round about that people circle around in to find cel reception. It's right at the trail head for a steep hike down to Raspberry Springs
Site 2 - Is where I stayed. Plenty of room to spread out with a short hike behind to a stunning overlook for sunset.
Site 3 - Right next to 2. Closest 2 spots together.
Site 4 - Has the best view without hiking away from camp. A friendly hippie couple was posted there puffing medicine the whole day long.
Site 5 - Fantastic rock formations right in the forefront next to the picnic table and fire ring. Tent pads might be a ways back. But it felt like a multi-level mansion!
Site 6 - Like 5 but better. The camp host told me that if you snag it, you can have it for 14 days. Might be a good spot to host a big party with revolving camp guests......
The walk to Reyes Peak trail head is 30 mins from camp. And it's a huff to the top, but worth it. I did it alone and enjoyed the serenity of a media blackout during the election night(s). Later on, as I was cooking dinner and enjoying some vino @ 7,000ft elevation; a motorcade of sheriff/search and rescue vehicles were headed to the trail head to locate a family that went missing on a hike. I wonder if we wandered down similar paths. Hope they're OK.
When winds rip through here, it is intense. You're essentially on a ridge so enjoy it. Forgot my kite at home. A mistake I won't make again.
Campfires were restricted during my visit. And the host informed me they're only allowed when the fire crew is in the neighborhood. Even if I were allowed to enjoy a camp fire I would do so cautiously. The whole place feels like a tinder box just waiting for a spark to burn down a couple million acres.
Fantastic spot to camp at high altitudes if you're into that sort of thing. My neighbors had to call it a day early since they were feeling queezy neezy. I embraced it with a bottle of cab.

Large open campsite. Close to beautiful, majestic trees. Fire pit is large, bring your own wood. The picnic table is uncomfortable to sit on, too high off the ground, so bring your own table. Restroom is near and clean. Lots of ants, especially at night. Bring bug spray. Beautiful camp site. Can easily fit a few cars on site and tents.
