All other campgrounds in the Valley are huge gravel parking lots with barely any facilities! Driving from Sacramento (Route HW 50 over the Sierra to HW 395, then down south) usually takes 10 - 12 hours (with a lunch break at Mono Lake)! I think the Valley is worth a visit, but I would rather like to have 2 or 3 days to spend there.... Marcus G. Doherr, Dr. med. vet.
