Beautiful area, loved it. Could have been better though. Had for 2 nights, left after 1 due to Bear in area and fresh dropping on trailhead. No other campers showed up even though there were reservations. Will try again with larger group

A stunning campsite! Great views and very quiet. Campsites are large and spread out. Drive up was very curvy, but campsite was relatively easy to find. All in all a lovely experience. We stayed 1 night.

Simply and excellent location. Plenty of space between each camping spot. You may see others around, but overall there is easily enough room for everyone to find peace and quiet. Great access to trails if you want to hike and the views are unbeatable. Cannot wait to go back! There is a toilet located about midway between all the camp spots. It’s OK as vault toilets go, but if you want a truly upscale experience, drive up to the Reyes Peak Trail Head parking lot where you’ll find an immaculate vault toilet on hand. Make sure you bring fly repellent, and always be aware of the weather. Things can be vastly different at 7,000 feet! And take care on the road up a d down. It’s a single lane, very tight road with dozens of blind turns. Wisdom dictates taking it slow as there are no gaurs rails, plenty of steep drops and we’ve had a few near misses due to people trying to drive quickly. Just now it’ll take a few extra minutes and demands you pay attention to the road, not the views. Which, admittedly, are epic!

This campsite is at the very top of the world. It has amazing natural beauty and is really off the beaten path. The drive in is one of the best in all of California. The negatives are the lack of water, which is especially hard as the nearest store is well over an hour away. Second if you are camped near the latrine, there are a lot of flies when the wind is down.

Beautiful campgrounds. A portion of the road there is kind of scary, mountain road without railing. But worth it when you get up there. We were in a tundra pick up truck and we’re fine.

It’s a nice spot, way high up, but we had to CONSTANTLY be telling random people that they couldn’t just set up camp in a parking spot next to our site. It got to be very stressful. I’d say we had to tell on average 3 groups of people EVERY DAY that they couldn’t camp in a non-site. they would often argue “but all the sites are full” ::eye roll:: oh, and when we first showed up someone was setting up camp in our site because they “didn’t see” our reservation clipped to the site number.

The Campground is beautiful, but there seems to be confusion on the first come first serve sites. We reserved a site months in advance, only to arrive and find 2 families already setup in our spot thinking it was first come first serve. There was no ranger or campground manager around to enforce our site reservations.

Quiet spot at high altitude! Beautiful views of valleys on both sides. This is a great place to really get away from it all. Highly recommended.
