Spots 3, 4 and 10 are pretty exposed. Pit toilets are okay. Tent pads at 3 and 4 were quite hard packed. Tables and bear vaults in great condition.
Camped here Labor Day in order to visit Alamere Falls,
as all other campgrounds were booked to capacity.
Sites 5 through 7 offer a more secluded and natural setting.
Freestanding tents fare much better here as the ground is pretty hard (site dependant).
There’s also a lack of large/heavy rocks to be used in lieu of stakes.
Be sure to check your surrounding area for the foliage.
Site 8 had what appeared to be stinging nettle -
the seedlings stick to your equipment and barbs may damage your tent(s).
*As of this post*
Site 1 is closed due to dangerous tree overhead.
Site 10 is driest area out of the bunch with no shade.
Beautiful place to camp. Not too far from wildcat beach and Alamere falls. We stayed in site 7 which had shade all day. The vault toilets stink pretty bad during the day but are fine in the morning and evening. About 5.5 miles of mostly flat hiking from 5 brooks trailhead.
Decent place to camp, potable water & bathrooms & trash cans. Campsites are pretty flat, some have shade, some don’t. I stayed at 006 which had plenty of shade. 4.5 mile hike in from bear valley visitor center, trail is obvious and site is easy to find. however, not much to see in the area, if you want a better view, I’d recommend the wildcat campsite.
Stayed at #7 Sept-202. Good shadow and private space. 5-8 are best spots in the campground. Vault toilets are clean and potable water available
