Via U.S. 395, 19-miles north of Independence, turn west on Fish Springs Road, one-half mile to Tinnemaha Road, turn west 2-miles to campground
Small campground in a grove of cottonwood trees alongside a small creek. Sites are close together and those along the creek are shady. Good for an overnight rest stop. Can be very windy, and cows wandering through the campsite can be messy.
Don’t go there on Memorials Day Weekend! Families specifically come here to use the campground as race track and dirt park. Also, generator hours are ignored. This behavior seems to be tolerated by the campground for many years. But there isn‘t any note about that during the booking process. Apart of that, it is a primitive campground with toilets but no water. The views of the sorrounding mountains is amazing, though.
this is an amazing gem! Warm weather next to snow-capped mountains - bliss! I was here in beginning of June & the weather was PERFECT - a sharp contrast from the Santa Cruz mountains I just come from where I was freezing! the evenings were so incredibly pleasant & while the sun did beat down during the day, it was time to just hang out in a shade structure whether it's your own or under some of the big trees by the river! (bring a hammock to hang by or over the river!) (you can also fish for trout!) I will definitely come back & I'm told it's very easy to drop in without a reservation as the place is not very well known.
