This was a fabulous campground with gorgeous lakefront views! We came in late in the evening; but woke up to such a beautiful sunrise! Will definitely come back!

The bathrooms were both out of service and there were human excrements outside the doors because of that. We ourselves would have loved a place to go to the bathroom as driving to one was not an option since this campground is so far off the beaten path. This campground was chosen because it had bathrooms so staying here was completely useless and we would have rather stayed in a walmart parking lot.

Had a peaceful night there before visiting Sequoia&Kings Canyon NP. Only us and another couple where there. No noices, just the beautiful Lake in front of our Camper Van. Restrooms where closed at that time, but nearby was an replacement. Might be a bit to remote for some, but you won‘t find a calm spot like this anywhere! Drinking water was available.

Honestly for the price it’s not terrible it’s just we had a really bad experience.if you aren’t super into bugs maybe go to a different place. The bathroom were really not maintained or clean. No hand soap, Bugs were all over the wall and over sinks and toilets. And at night the bottom of campground is full of cockroaches. I don’t know if it’s a common problem. But because of that we had to leave the same day to not risk getting it in our trailer.
If you have a small trailer it should be fine like 13ft. Bigger than that it will be difficult to move around in this campground.
Other than that beautiful place. Sunrise is gorgeous and the lake would be wonderful if didn’t have the cockroaches.

The campground itself is pleasant. It was unfortunate that we had terrible camp neighbors who completely disregarded the posted "Quiet Hours" of after 10pm. We would have reported it except that we never once saw a park employee during our visit.
