Via U.S. 395, 14-miles north of Independence, turn west on Taboose Creek Road, 2- miles to campground.
Pros: nice scenery, clean toilets
Cons: since there are no camp hosts, people play loud music every night until midnight and turn on their generators early morning and late night. Mosquitoes were unreal…active even after the sun went down.
I would definitely not stay here again…there are so many other good options, especially at Alabama Hills.
We’ve been camping here for years. They have restrooms and more recently potable water. The camp sites are a nice size with a table and a fire pit and a grill on each site. Right next to the creek for all day fishing! Usually very clean. About a mile and half down the way there’s a small restaurant that you can buy ice from all day and a pond to fish from.
We love coming to Taboose creek. However, the bathroom facility needs help. There were a swarm of flies and spiders pouring out of the toilets, making them unusable. Hope you bring and RV with your own toilet because the ladies in your group will be very unhappy with these facilities.
I have been coming here since I was a kid, it’s still the same with a few added benefits. There is now a well for potable water on site! This was huge for cooking,cleaning and most of all washing the kids back at camp. I will continue the family tradition and return as often as possible.
Great location just off the 395, approximately 10 miles north of Independence. Majority of the sites are creek adjacent and flat. We set up a tent and two of our group slept in the back of the trucks, the breeze kept the mosquitoes off. There is no "site host" to monitor the campground and the people next to us had 4 cars and approximately 15 people at one site, so we moved to an open "walk-up" site. Campground has a little too much trash floating around, but it's not San Francisco yet, so it's doable. Built in firepits and ours had a grilling grate, my nephew caught 3 trout on a kastmaster, so you can catch your lunch/dinner. Restroom was clean!
