Located south of Ozena Valley, this campground provides access to the Sespe Wilderness via the Reyes Creek Trail linking to the Piedra Blanc National Recreation Trail. This site is the trailhead for Gene Marshall-Piedra Blanca National Recreation Area ideal for hiking or mountain biking.

Other campgrounds in the area include ( Pine Mountain (15 miles) and Reyes Peak (16 miles). Ballinger (ATV) campground is also 24 miles away and Wheeler Gorge campground is 33 miles away.
