Great little spot. It's a little more down the hill from the other sites and the bathroom, so slightly more private, at least from all but 1 of the other. There's really only 1 spot for a tent at this specific site. The others have more options.
The camping area in general is pretty shaded, and I'd say it's on average about 5-10 degrees cooler than down at the lake.
There's a trail that goes down to the cold river and would probably be a fun place to go gold panning. There's a small pool down there that would be nice in the heat of the summer to cool off in.

Beautiful vantage point, overlooking a scenic, pristine creek. Giant pines shade and protect from the heat of the day.

It is a drive up from the main rd. It's secluded and far from everything and everyone. We really enjoyed this. They're was no light or noise pollution. There is no running water or electricity. There is a restroom. It was a short walk to get to Brandy Creek Falls Trail. There is a little river that runs close by. If you want to get down to the lake, you do have to drive. It is too far to walk. It was only us and one other group camping.

This campground has 4 sites, ranging from small to a double sized site. Site 4 has 2 bear boxes and 2 picnic tables to accommodate more people. Site 1 is closer to the creek, but quite small (no more than a standard 4 person tent). Campground is close to a swimming hole on brandy creek and connects to 2 trailheads directly. There is a vault toilet - no running water. Closest water is at brandy creek beach upper parking area (there are also flushing toilets and sinks there). There are no showers so you need to bathe in the creek (cold) or lake. Area surrounding burned in 2018 and is recovering, however, the site itself was spared and the surrounding area is quite beautiful. You will probably encounter loud/unruly campers from Thursday through the weekend. If it's peace you're looking for, try for Monday through Thursday morning.
