Heard of this small campsite with a piddly spring, wondering if anyone's seen it lately or knows of water conditions in the area?

Spent a night there late last month, chose to add as much info as I could for future users.
Check out my photos at

which include my sketch of a map of the area.
Water is flowing well in several creeks.
There are no privies.
There are several camp sites with fire rings and obvious tent sites.
The trail to Anthony's Nose is blue-blazed. Do not follow the "road" that continues away from South Mountain Pass Road out of the campground. It's labeled "Military Road" in my topo software, but I'm not sure where it goes to.

Thanks for the info/update. I stayed there myself back in '03; though it has decent tent-pitching spaces, it's as basic a campground as you're likely to find.
Anyone know how the water is flowing at Hemlock Springs recently?
