True Justin, but I'm biased and stay here for mostly sentimental reasons. You stay there for sentimental reasons and the fact that there's an insane amount of world class climbing! (or so people and my unused Shuteye guide tell me)

Gotta say folks....I've climbed on seven continents over half of a century and I haven't found better, FEATURED granite than Shuteye.

Everyone should bring their own trash (and perhaps wag?) bags.
Pack it in, pack it out.

Ha RickyD, I prefer the deep fried Chevron food. Just avoid North Fork Market, unless you like greenish colored meat at premium prices.
True limping.
Quite the statement Donini, it's definitely unique.
Spider and dirt, will get a better idea if you guys are coming for sure later.
As munge points out, there are no amenities at this site. Whiskey Falls Campground is about 20 minutes away and has a bathroom and designated campsites, so that is an option for people who like a bathroom.

Justin, you can add me and Daphne for sure, but I have gotten an RV site at the Rock Creek Campground down the road, so you don't have to count us for camping.
Murcy and Joey F were high on the "maybe" list, I'll check in with them.

Hell yeah Mike, happy to hear about your move. Unfortunately I reinjured my shoulder, so won't be climbing anytime soon. MRI on Monday, hopefully it's not the same injury, but I have my suspicions. Flip flop is in North Fork now and is looking for partners. Be cool to meet up at Southgate Brewery and eat some dinner and drink some beers.

Here are the 2 wheel drive directions to the camping from the guidebook, typed out:
Brown’s Meadow Rd (7S02) directions:
Allow one hour from North Fork.
From North Fork, take the Mammoth Pool Rd (aka Road 225 aka Minarets Rd) east out of town and past the old mill, heading towards Mammoth Pools. At about 22-23 miles, before the pullout for Mile High Overlook, you pass Rock Creek Campground on the right. Three-quarters of a mile past the campground and before the road actually crosses Rock Creek, a major intersection on your left is dirt road 7S02 to Brown’s Meadow.
Fifty yards past the intersection there is a drinking water spring on the left.
Turn left on 7S02 and follow it about 7 miles until you can see Big Sleep Dome on the right. A small dirt road on the right leads to the right (south) side of Big Sleep Dome drainage and Shuteye Pass trail. Keep your eyes peeled because the turn, in the middle of a right-hand curve, is easy to miss if you are driving fast. This final short road is a bit rocky so drive carefully to avoid flats.
A large open area to your right on the way is the main camping area.

Where there is a dream. . . . .
It pains me to think that I went past in the past and never past on a chance to go off the grid and never heard o whisper, but I was completely absorbed in the tail of the comet that was us as we headed to this Super Nova!
Seems like heat in July?is no worriesor just for some?
