Camped here Sunday-Tuesday in mid-August. The campground was mostly vacant on the weekdays. Maybe the lack of running water was an extra deterrent. It was very peaceful. Got my fill of nature just staying at the site the whole time. Recommend a campsite with tree shading during this time. Bathrooms were just fine. Some flies, but nothing a decent amount of bug spray couldn't take care of. Didn't run into any mosquito problems, thank goodness. Maybe the only con was there was still some minor light pollution as you can see city lights in the distance from the site. Still didn't stop me from getting some good stargazing in in the middle of the night and seeing some of the brightest shooting stars I've ever seen.

Awesome view! Flat area for rent and a few trees for hammocks.

Lovely mountain experience. Bathroom structures are cinder block & tile, locking doors, and two vault toilets each building, They are checked by Forest Rangers minimum three days each week. Recreation.gov labeling of campsites was accurate, but because I'm local, I actually visited Fern Valley to scope out the best site , and its condition overall before reserving. I camped alone for three nights (S, S & M) in mid-October, and most of the time, I had the entire campground to myself. I watched weather websites closely to gauge storms and temps and for mountain conditions; they were very accurate. Owls at night, squirrels, I heard raccoons at dusk but didn't see them. I took caution and stored food inside my vehicle all the time. Parking spaces are level; sites are within about 70% deep shade. Tent sites, however, are mostly on a slight incline; I walked and looked at all of them. If that bothers you, bring a rake and maybe a flat edge shovel. Loose scree, and some on small gravel, camping is clean (not dusty). Cell reception bars were almost nil; only a teensy bar and that, only sporadically. No water, no fires, great place to commune with nature. I will definitely be returning.
