Nice enough stay. Unfortunately, not a lot of love shown to California public campgrounds. So many squirrels, felt like a squirrel takeover. Honestly, I don’t think I would return.

This was my 2nd time at Paradise. 1st time was great - this time was awful. One campsite group showed up at 930P and were loud for hours. Then - a big trailer showed up at midnight and set up 6 tents and were loud until 330A. No enforcement at the campsite and the sites are too close together.
