Sinkhole campground has 26 single-family (mixed use) campsites and is located in a dandy Ponderosa pine forest at an elevation of 7,560 feet.  There’s a nice (short) trail from the campground to Willow Springs Lake where you can throw a line in the water to catch some fish.

Campground amenities include drinking water and vault toilets. Campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Each site also has a table, lantern post, fire ring and grate.  Sites 14-26 are reservable and sites 1-13 are first-come, first-served. Firewood is also available for sale from the camp host. Cell service is fair.
