Two private, secluded tent sites above Brandy Creek. Open and sunny — the 2018 Carr Fire took the canopy here. Tent camping only: no RVs, trailers, popup tents, cab-over campers or truck-tent hybrids. Each site has its own accessible vault toilet, a picnic table, a fire pit with a swing-arm grill and a bear-resistant locker. No drinking water and no power.
