The campground sits between Gull Lake below and the granite peaks that define this stretch of the eastern Sierra. Mule deer graze through camp, and bears frequent the area enough that lockers are mandatory. The aspen canopy keeps sites cool in summer but opens views to the peaks in winter. Several campers mentioned the trees work well for hanging hammocks.
