The bathrooms and showers were out of order, but it was a great trip. The view is amazing

The location is a great camp site.
I just feel they need to upgrade the site add a little TLC to the campers sites. do little upgrades or touch ups. Like a flatter and better guarded edge from falling into the rocks or terrain. Have a better centered fire pit for bigger camping families. Idk. Can’t really pin point to the needs but these are just some of my point of views.

It’s was soooo far away from the parc we were visiting!!!! King’s Canyon. Out of a 3 day stay we only went there one night! Don’t go there if you are visiting parcs. It’s very isolated. The road is extremely hazardous and many and very steep curves, scary!! And we had only a 21 feet RV. No service, toilets not clean, but the view of the lake is nice. ABS very quiet. But not for us! Sorry.

Two nights at site #4 late March. Loved everything about it. Great view of the lake. Got flush toilets and a hot water shower. Only 10 sites altogether so it was nice and quiet. Will definitely be back several times more as it’s close enough to drive from the Bay Area.
They do a wonderful job leveling the area for tent camping. We did RV camping and would appreciate an improved road conditions.
