It's a very beautiful campground. Though it's near the highway, it is still quiet in the evening. Although the site is actually not close to the lake in Feb, you can see and easily walk to the lake from it. It seems no firewood is for sale, but it is available in the Lemon Cove market, which is a 7-min drive from the campground.

We were notified that there was problems with the bathroom near the registration building, but not that there would be raw sewage left in the open. We were camping for 6 days and was exposed to that smell every time the wind brought it our way. The problem was identified by unearthing the sewer pipes but no steps were taken to fix it. It is still not fixed 3 weeks later according to recreation.gov alert.

The site was in a good spot, sparsely populated and the facilities that were open were clean and useful.

Beautiful location and close to the entrance to Sequoia NP. One of the bath houses is currently out of order, but they’ve got port-a-potties outside and the other one works fine.
