opinion - http://www0.epinions.com/review/park-Parks-All-CA-Providence_Mountains_State_Recreation_Area/content_125690744452 “The campground is the crown jewel of the state park, and perhaps of the preserve overall. The campground is situated on a small peninsula jutting out from the range. It overlooks the Clipper Valley and the mountains beyond. I would rank it as one of the top 5 prettiest campsites I’ve ever seen. The view is incredible! “
