I've been to the campground and it is a great area; however, it is NOT an arid environment as the description says.? It is located at over 7000 feet in a forested area.? In addition, there is NO access   to Devils Postpile (or the Mammoth area, as is implied by the lodging links). The campground is located at the end of the road and there is no road pass over the Sierra anywhere in this area. This campground is seasonal and is snowed in completely in the winter. Says Sven This is a primitive camp ground which obviously means that there are a small number of services. This primitive campground is located in an incredibly striking place. Getting to this       primitive campground may be a tad hard, but it's well worth it; at this primitive campground you may get a finer wilderness experience than you would get at a more civilized campground.
