Camp Hosts were great !, Bathrooms always clean. Campsites are always clean.
The Campsites are next to a reservoir with great fishing and usually plenty of wildlife to enjoy. There are trails leading from the campground that offer some great day hikes. The campground is close enough to the town of Markleeville Ca for a day trip to the hotsprings and for some groceries.

I love this camp cite, I try and good there at least once each year, It has great bathrooms and showers. It close to Hope valley. to many of the camp cites are reserved, and a lot of people don not show up. I think it should be 50/50 and If the reserved don't show they lose their spot starting the next day.

The grounds were very nice and the bathrooms clean. Not a lot of people either so that was nice. I will say that that Indian Creek should not be used for swimming. My oldest son got leeches everywhere in about 15 minutes. We ended up leaving early because we had intended on swimming and using small rafts to play with our four young children.

Beautiful setting. Very peaceful and quiet for a public campground. Saw my first wild turkey here! My dogs loved it too.

Great to have hot showers available. Nice hiking trail next to the reservoir. Note that you can get cellphone reception if you walk on top of the berm at the edge of the reservoir (looking down on the campground on one side and the water on the other). Nice camp hosts.
