Always quiet. This is one of the better spots for privacy and a great view. Close to the bathrooms. Has ants at night. And the whole campsite is full of wildlife so if you're not ready for a raccoon to say hello. Maybe come in an RV lol.

Very easily accessible campground. We pulled in with a 21 ft trailer, 45 ft total length with pickup and had no problems backing into our site. The hosts were very friendly. The campground was very clean. One minor detail was that the men's bathroom had no toilet paper for 2 days.

We spent 13 days at the camp in a pull thru electric/water site. We loved everyday of it. We just chilled and rested. The staff is great and the facilities are well cared for. Lots of wildlife and beautiful sunrises/sunsets. Yosemite is an hour away and a beautiful drives.

Stayed here for one night car camping with my dog. Site was very clean and accessible. Bathrooms nearby. Overall very quiet park and was a very relaxing stay. Shout out to the park volunteer for helping me get some firewood because the rangers were nowhere to be found for my entire stay.

The view looking out at Eastman Lake was spectacular. The campground is well maintained. I stayed one night but will extend that if I have the good fortune to come back.
