I looked for a secluded place and nailed it! It’s peaceful and gorgeous. (Removing annoying and disrespectful campers partying all night every night). The road it’s a totally adventure! Mono creek it’s a wonderful fish provider, we caught dinner for 4 two nights in a roll. Puddling at Edison lake definitely a workout if you get caught by the winds. We will definitely go back! Hopefully with better neighbors.

Raided by a bear both nights we stayed here. Most likely looking for food because of the fires. Keep your food locked up!

Great spot. Signage to the campsite and individual site identification could have been clearer but given the remote location I understand. Would love to come back and explore more of the lakes in the area.

Can I please get a refund? We could not find our promised campsite and had to drive down the mountain racing the sun in order to find a hotel room. The campsite was completely full. Overall terrible experience.

We arrived at the campground and didn’t have our name listed on any site. Paid for it weeks in an advance... no one came to check anything.
