Crystal Springs Campground

Crystal Springs Campground offers scenic mountain views and easy access to a nearby river, with well-maintained restrooms, potable water, picnic sites and bear-proof food lockers. It's a small, mostly first-come campground close to Markleeville with modest nightly fees and limited cell service. Many sites fit trailers, but larger RVs may find interior roads and overgrown spots tight. The setting is generally peaceful, though some visitors note highway traffic can echo through the canyon. Bring cash for fees, water shoes for river access, and expect basic but clean facilities.
