Jackass's Meadows Campground, Central Sierra Nevada, California

  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

If you adore the outdoors, you won’t be let down; there's fishing, whitewater
    paddling, hiking, and swimming, so it's out of the question to get bored. California has so much stuff to offer nature lovers. If spending too much time inside got you down, No cause for concern; Jackass's Meadows Campground in California is a pleasant place to go.

This is really a good campground.
