We intended to camp elsewhere but ran into road closures. This place was a great fallback. Plenty of sites that fit our medium sized van. Fire rings but no tables. Couldn't find the bathroom but we didn't look very hard. Dipped to the 30s at night

There are 5 spots along a loop off the left of Homestead Road after you drive in. 3 of them offer pretty good views of the valley to the SW and of the mountains on either side. OHV folks had their own location deeper down the road where they were launching out of and where very respectable. There are multiple other camping locations down Homestead Road, if you want to go in deeper, and possibly be closer to the water.

Beautiful drive into the campground! There’s about five sites. None have tree cover. It stayed hot well into the evening but stayed quite cool well through the morning due to being in the shadow of the mountain. Beautiful views and if you walk down the road in the evening you may spot a family of beavers! Further down the road,... more

Further down the road, not signed is another dispersed campground with lots of spots but tougher to get into.
You can hear the road a bit.

Small Campsite overlooking HomeStake Creek. Only five or so spots. No amenities.
Creek is just a short walk away. Caught many brook trout. Lovely views.
