First time camping at the Cold Spring campground. We were staying whole 7 days so we booked whatever was available which was one of walk-in sites. Did not like the set up of camp site 39 because your neighbors have to walk through your site to access their site. I am sure they can move things around to make it more accessible to the neighbors.
Other than that we enjoyed the how isolated it was, and surrounding hike trails were the best. Definitely coming back but reserving different site perhaps.

A perfect campground to stay the night before a backpacking trip out of Mineral King! It was peaceful and quiet at night with the sound of the creek!
