Enjoyed the quiet, views, and proximity to Kings Canyon NP. Most sites hilly, with picnic tables & firepits a good distance from parking spot. One bar intermittent T-Mobile cell service. Was a lot of trash on roads leading down to water, picked up 2 large bags but still more there. Will return as overall great experience.

Really nice facility. We stayed during November, so it was not very crowded. Park Ranger was super nice and we will stay there again.

Campsites with great views. My campsite was in good shape, no trash or evidence of the previous occupants. Minor glitch with the electricity -- it went off for an hour or two right at darkness set in, but it came back on and no other problems. Ranger came by and checked me in and gave me the latest info on the lake, fishing, etc. I'll be back to this park.

We really liked the spacious campground we were in, lots of privacy. The only negative experience was the noise from other campers during late and early morning hours.

The two bathrooms that were open were extremely dirty and you could tell it had been a long time since they had been cleaned. There was a person that came by to clean they were in and out of both bathrooms in 10 minutes. We were there for 14 days and one of the showers ran the whole time I could not shut if off and a the ranger didn’t do anything about it. Also there was quite a bit of broken glass around the camp sites very disappointed
