One of the best camp sites we ever have had. The campground host was awesome....helped us jump a dead battery. We were there a few days before park was scheduled to close. Enjoyed the old saw mill and the creek was amazing. Would definitely come back.

There were no camp hosts. It was pretty ok. We found our way to Honeymoon pools which was pretty fun. We feel like there were too many campsites

I LOVE this area of the world.....amazing all around and this campground offers a sweet, primitive type environment so one is SUPER remote and amongst people as well. A great intro night before going deeper into the remoteness in Kings Canyon! Thank you!

Nice clean campground with clean bathroom facilities and with nearby water. I wish there had been available bear boxes for our food, but there were plenty of trees to hang provisions from.
