As a beginner camper, my first experience at this campsite was truly remarkable. Despite arriving during a winter storm, we opted for campsite 4 with an electricity hookup, which worked well for car camping in Tesla. Even though we had to shovel our way into the site, the snowy scenery added to the surreal beauty of the location, especially considering it's only an hour and a half drive from LA.

The campground itself was great, with a surprising level of quietness even though it's near the main road, this could be due to the weather conditions, but regardless, campground had clean bathrooms, friendly staff, and a ranger who periodically drove around the campground which made us felt safe.

We definitely plan on returning during a warmer season to take advantage of the hiking trails and bask in the natural scenery once again.
