Set at 5,730 feet at the mouth of Pine Springs Canyon, this facility consists of a paved parking lot serving as a basic RV camping area, alongside 20 hike-in tent sites located up to 277 feet from parking. Basic amenities include tent pads, picnic tables, and restrooms, but there are no showers, hookups, or dump stations on site.
