Had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend. Sites were spread apart very far. Nights were quiet. Camp hosts and Mt High staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back next year!

Camphost was the nicest I think I've ever had. Just a beautiful spot and I love it right across from the lake. Everything was really perfect

Camping area and toilets are really clean, I would like to thank all employees for their service. Jackson lake is just walking distance away. You can grab your staff and go there for lake view picnic. I was only not satisfied with the width of the campsite. If there is a family with 4 children in the tent next to you, you can understand what I m saying. Maybe I felt uncomfortable because it was my first camping adventure on the camp site. If I go there again, I ll reserve 4 instead 5.

The campground was nice, very clean and has everything one might need like flush toilets, water spigot, dumpsters and firewood for sale. Each site has a table, bear proof container and a fire ring for cooking, personally, it wasn’t ideal for a casual sit around and stare at the fire campfire but it did feel safe and contained because of the tall double walls. Site 8 was steps away from the restrooms, water, dumpster and the camp host. There’s isn’t much privacy at this campsite but there are tall trees for some shade. The restrooms have lights all around and inside which is nice but was a little distracting at night when trying to star gaze. Overall I really enjoyed this campground for being a quick, easygoing camping experience.

Hidden gem of a campground. Across from Jackson Lake and near Big Pines/Wrightwood. Stayed for one night but wished it was longer. There are flush toilets that are clean and well maintained. Camp host is very kind, personable and helpful. We have sites 2-3 for a big group and enough space for 4 tents. Sites are well-spaces. I thought we were a little loud but walking around the camp loop, the noise stayed pretty contained. You will need a campfire permit, takes 10 minutes on the forest service website. There are spigots for running water that are technically potable, but bring a filter just in case.

I love this camping spot. It is very convenient to town and hiking. The camping spaces are clean and roomy. The only downside is the camp spots are close to each other and unfortunately they allow RV parking next tent camping which causes a conflict with the motor sound of the RV. Also, I'm sure this is probably a funding issue but the bathroom could use updating.

Loved this campground.
Camp lots were spacious and well kept. Easy to navigate.
I was hiking sections of the PCT and this campground was about a 10 minute drive so loved the location.
Not much service in this area so download directions beforehand.

Campground was pretty and clean, only con was that there were so many bees at the site. When we cooked, there would be bees everywhere. Yes, I know its camping and we are outside, but I have camped at many other places in NPs and etc and never experienced this. It was so bad that we had to eat in our tent. I am not sure if it was just our site or other people at the campground experienced it too.
