Description

Sorry campers, I regret to inform you that, no, there is not a spring made of soda here. On the bright side, there is a rad valley campground for your nature lovin’ pleasure. With a prime location to Mammoth Lakes, and sites along the San Joaquin River, you will find yourself in good company with like-minded ramblers and outdoors(wo)men. Tons of trailheads surround this camp like the PCT as well as many throughout the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Should you prefer to feed off the land, try your wrists at trout fishing in any of the nearby lakes in Reds Meadow.

Epic location & great campground. Not suitable for large RVs and Large trailers. Potable water and vault toilets. Located right on the river, PCT and JMT at 7700ft. Fantastic fly fishing.
