About Emigrant

The damage to the 5-mile-long water pipe and associated water system is substantial and there is no estimated repair date. First-come, first-served tent-only campground with no additional fee. Located next to CA 190 at 2100' feet in elevation. This is a small campground with 10 sites southwest of Stovepipe Wells Ranger Station.
