DO MOT FOLLOW GPS COORDS to get here! You’ll end up on a dead end road. ENTER FROM 3rd St! Park towards the far back for more privacy and more level. Big turn around. Plenty of room for our 40’ 5er. Lots of grass for dogs and walking path along river.

Gate is locked. Closed due to fire damage.

Our price reflects 1/2 off with Sr. Pass. Paved road in with easy access for big rigs. Branches are trimmed. Many sites can fit our 40’ 5er. Threaded water spigots throughout, clean bathrooms, garbage, picnic table and fire pits. No dump. Nice camphost. Fantastic fishing!! I see more cell towers along 395 and while our phones showed almost no cell, we had 2-3 bars boosted in our site which allowed Hubs to work. Only got dropped a couple times. Fill your tank and get groceries in Gardnerville for less pain at the pump. Water is just clearing and fishing should be awesome mid June. We were here during Memorial Weekend with almost 1/2 sites open. We heard there is some confusion that you have to have a reservation but it is FCFS. Only a tiny amount of road noise. We come for the fishing but plenty of day trips close by including Bodie Ghost Town, Mono Lake, June Lake Loop and geocaching.

We like to hike and fish in the area. Thus us s nice spot for a couple days. It was

We like to hike and fish in the area. Road in and around sites can be dusty. Nice place gif a couple days. Not sure I’d bring in anything much over 30’. Bugs were annoying in July after a wet winter.

Easy in and out down a flat gravel road. If you go back about a mile you’ll get better cell. We visited China Ranch Date Farm for great shakes and baked goods and awesome hiking, nearby Dublin Gulch and the museum next door in Shoshone. There are private hot springs in Tecopa but we skipped those. The brewery was just meh. We were here May 8 for a couple days and weather was probably a little cooler than normal and windy too. Our only strange thing was we picked up a bunch of hitchhiking moths that somehow must’ve come in with our slides. We’ve killed over 30 and still finding them a couple days later. Quarter sized. It must’ve been a hatch or something.

It was narrow but paved the 2 miles from the entrance to the Edison Campground. It’s just a very unlevel dirt ATV staging area with shaded picnic table, fire pit and bathroom. Our 40’ 5er fit but it’s got lots of little gullies and some we couldn’t cross. If it were full it would be impossible to navigate with a large rig. No cell at all back there. No you can’t stay at the visitor center. It will be loud and dusty on weekends and when it’s full. We changed our minds and continued down towards Burbank.

Only stopped here to check out how it survived the fire. Not we’ll. Much burned. Dangerous algae bloom posted.

We just drove by 7/13/23 and it’s closed with trees down and no host. Maybe some flooding since May? We saw debris in campground. River is still high, fast and a little dirty.

We knew it was loud coming in. It barely quiets down at night. That’s the only downside. Area is beautiful and even better if you can get a site on the river. Boosted Verizon was good. There was water as of 7/8/23 but signs not to drink it as it hadn’t been certified yet. Ok for a late night stop over.
