    This is a pretty cool campground. Not much to do but the little river and the lake that's across from the campground. But if you go to a little town and drive another 45 min you will find some amazing places. Here's a youtube video of the campgrounds. Hope you enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxppHeJajE4&t=6s

    Taboose is one of the many snow and spring-fed creeks that runs off the slope of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Located about 15 miles north of Independence, CA on US-395, Taboose is a desolate stretch of high desert chaparral in the Owens Valley, managed by Inyo Co. Parks & Rec. About 2 miles from the highway is Taboose Campground. No reservations, $14/night, and accommodates trailers and RVs (but no hookups.) the only time I've ever seen this full is for the April Trout season opener at the end of April... And most of those folks are people who didn't make reservations farther north. Stream fishing for small native rainbows and slightly larger stocked trout can be good at times. A salmon egg drifted into cover or the undercut bank can be very effective. Small flies work here, too... But casting isn't necessary or even possible amidst the thick creek side willows, cottonwoods, and assorted branchy plants. Breezes can get pretty strong here, especially in the afternoon. A beautiful view of the Sierras, the contrast of riparian green and gray desert scrub, and a night sky so full of stars you'd swear you were watching a science fiction space film. While I've never camped here, we stop with some frequency to see if anybody's biting in the creek. When it's on, it's good, and you'll know right away. Haven't had a bite in a minute? Move... Slowly and quietly to the next pool up or downstream.

    Great time camping here!
