Los Alamos Campground

Stayed here on our way to the desert. Sites are not real flat and the bigger sites are up the hill 58-85.
Easy access off the 5.
New camp hosts had just arrived and were very friendly and working to improve the sites and campground. The sand flees are a problem in the hot afternoon if the wind is down so bring Cutters. Camp hosts are aware and may be able to improve that condition!

This place is BEAUTIFUL! Our kids loved running up and down the hills and digging in the sand. We stopped here for an overnight on our way to Palm Springs from the San Benito area. When we arrived at 5:30pm we were the only ones there, a couple other overnighters showed up a bit later but it was really quite. Some of the sites are small but we were able to find plenty of sites to fit our 28ft trailer and 18ft van. It’s dry camping. The water at the campground tasted good and was readily available. when we were leaving we noticed the pull thru sites have sewer so we could’ve filled our clean water tank and used our sink. It’s close to I-5 and only takes about 10 mins to get there and there’s no crazy hills to drive or anything like that. It’s close to pyramid lake but we didn’t check it out, though driving past it loos like there a great sandy beach area for swimming.

This is a really lovely dry camping area just off of I-5 near Gorman, California. At 4,100 feet the sky is azure blue and turns at night into a blanket of stars. Peaceful and quiet. Loads of quail and small birds. Beautiful Pyramid Lake is a mile away, although it costs $11 a day extra to access.

We camped here the end of September over a long weekend when the weather had finally cooled down. The campground was only about 20 percent occupied and we had it almost all to ourselves by Sunday night. The RV sites are narrow and not very level. Also a bit of trash still around from summer campers, but not awful. Fire pits and picnic tables.

Good Verizon and T-Mobile reception. Pleasant just to sit in the shade and enjoy the cool breeze.

The one downside and the reason we won't be back is that the site we were in, a pull-through with shade, was overrun with biting sand fleas. My husband had about 50 bites from ankles to knees. I wore jeans and socks and still had a few bites right through the socks. If we had hiked up into the brush I might have thought they were chiggers, but we stayed in camp. Seriously aggressive bugs. First time we've encountered them this bad.

This is a wonderful small campground convenient to Hwy 5. Dry camping with plenty of campsites with full sun for solar. Plenty of places to run and there is an ATV area close by. The blocks that outline the campsites can be tight for bigger rigs. There are a few pull through sites and all have fire rings and picnic tables. We did not use the restrooms and there is a dump station. We were there during spring break Sunday-Wednesday and had the whole place to ourselves.
