Photograph of people in an automobile camp in Southern California, ca.1930. Two men can be seen in the left; one is holding a broom who seems to be posing as if sweeping the floor and the second one is seen standing to his left. Behind them, automobiles and tents are visible in the background. A man and a woman are observable in the background, below the center, who are standing in the automobile camp looking towards the viewer.; On the right, there is a sign in the corner of a street which reads: "Sycamore Grove", "Free Camping Grounds for Motorists", "City of Los Angeles", and "Auto Club So Cal". Trees and small bushes surround the camp.
