Big Pine with gravel was a lot cleaner. As Roza was dirty camping area.
Would be nice if it was gravel in the picnic areas.

Of all the National Forest campsites we have visited, this is, by far, the most beautiful and well-maintained. The hosts here, Anita and Mike, just do an exceptional job of keeping the campsites immaculately maintained...and they are quite friendly, to boot! The trails are beautiful and have interesting placards regarding the forest's timeline while still being rustic enough to make one feel like one is really taking a hike...and not just at a museum. The Big Pines is well worth the drive and a beautiful place to stay.
