Do not take Forest Rd 18 as a short cut (if you are coming from Sacramento area). It is paved at first but it gets rough near bowman lake. I almost got stuck there. If you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle and/or never been offroad, do not take this shortcut.

Bathroom is maintained daily. There is only 1 male and 1 female bathroom for around 10 campsites.

There are very good hikes there and the view is amazing.
