Packsaddle is a great location. we were in site 2. Bathroom is very new pit style with 2 stalls. well equipped and managed. main issue is water access - only water is from a hand-pumped well source mostly intended for the horses. and the dust level. all the roads are gravel. sites are well spaced so you do not feel crowded. the sites in the back loop are larger. would recommend those for anyone looking to use Packsaddle. walking distance to Packer Lake and the back-side access to the Buttes. it is a 5 minute drive in and out to Gold Lake Highway if your visit is mostly to enjoy the Lakes Basin hikes.

Overall a very nice camp. Bathrooms were well maintained with TP for the entire week I was there. They remained clean and did not smell any worse than you average pit toilet. Mosquitos at camp were very mild and while we did have some hungry meat bees around meal time they were manageable. I've had much worse. Camp has a large parking area for nearby hikes. Creates a lot of open space near camps 1-4. Camps 1-4 appeared to have the most flat space for tents and were well shaded but other spots looked shaded too. Some of the camps in the other loop seem to have limited flat tent pads but did have some interesting layouts. There was a large group up in that loop that was apparently up until 2am few nights but could not be heard from our spots. Nearby Packer Lake has some plant growth in it that makes it not the best swimming lake. But.. you can drive to all nearby lakes pretty quickly from this location. It was nice and quite at night and pleasant in the mornings. Stayed in tent until 8:30 comfortably. I'd go back for sure.
