Anglers and solitude campers who bring their own water will get a lot out of $8/night here. Emigrant Creek holds native trout right at your doorstep, vault toilets are reportedly clean, and the drive up to Snow Mountain Fire Lookout is worth an afternoon.
No potable water on-site means hauling everything in from Burns, 33 miles away. Also closed right now, so check current status before making any plans.
