We stopped by to scope it out. Easy access for big rigs. Less privacy between sites but regular campground layout. Dirt road and small creek nearby.

It's marked as closed for the season, and the entrance is blocked off. The road that branches off next to it and over the creek is open for boondocking though, just like the rest of the forest roads along Owens River Road.

It's marked as closed for the season, and the entrance is blocked off. The road that branches off next to it and over the creek is open for boondocking though, just like the rest of the forest roads along Owens River Road.
It looks like a nice campground with some really pretty water views and some water access on foot (though it's not enough for swimming - more like just getting your toes cool). The sites are spacious and there was a lot of variety in them, but not really any visual barriers between sites. It was deserted when we were there, so it's hard to imagine what it's like filled with campers. But empty, it sure was pretty. 😁
It looked like easy access for even big rigs. Right now, we are boondocking just up the street along Owens River Rd in our 38' motorhome though. Thankfully those forest roads are open and we found a spot that works for solar! :)
