Concord Gard station was really wonderful, we went in september, no biting bugs but I could see how they would be bad during the wet season as others have mentioned. There were a bunch a bunch of wasps and hornets, the woodpeckers had packed some nice holes in the house siding that numerous nests had taken over inside of. Aside from that, the campground is very very close to the cabin, but throughout our three night stay there was no one in the campground the whole time! So wonderful and so quiet. Propane lights and stove worked really well. We brought a propane tank to use the grill outside. The outhouse looks very new and is in great condition. Nearby lake Davis was great to go to, need a high clearance vehicle to use the road. Brought sheets and blanket for the beds, cleaning supplies are provided, pack out your trash and recycling per usual.

Group of 10 family and friends gathered for a fun weekend at Crocker. Beautiful quiet location. The guard station in good condition with lanterns and stove functional. Creaky bunks and floors so recommend ear plugs if staying with a large group like ours. Would definitely stay at Crocker again. Thanks to the Beckwourth Ranger District volunteers and staff for restoring, maintaining and managing Crocker for public use.

We had a fantastic time at the Crocker Guard Station. Beautiful old cabin in a lovely setting. Quiet. We were there in early July - definitely bring bug spray. The kitchen had everything we needed. We brought sleeping bags, though next time I'd bring fitted sheets (twins) because the mattresses are covered with an easy-clean but somewhat slippery material. The phone number we were given for cabin access did not work (apparently the caretakers had just quit). I ended up calling the Beckwourth Ranger Station and they provided me with the gate and house codes.

Following the instructions to get into the house was easy. As promised, this was a rustic experience with only some gas lights (not all had the little socks still in) and a working stove. We had not counted on the total absence of running water, but we made it work. The cabin is located in a wet meadow at the edge of the forest and it was just so pretty and quiet out there. Saw lots of stars. Nearby Portola offered dinner/lunch and Lake Davis and surroundings were nice for bike rides. Unfortunately were not able to swim in Lake Davis, but we hiked in the snow near Long Lake instead and that was extremely pretty.

I enjoyed my stay here (3 nights). The beds were quite comfortable. It beats sleeping on the ground any day! A real gem of a cabin. It was built on a wet meadow, so the mosquitos could be an issue if there was no breeze to keep them at bay. I plan to stay here again in the future.
