Good location near Sequoias, but not very quiet. There is a lot of road noise from traffic passing and due to the location and geography you are surrounded by the roads on multiple sides. Bathrooms were broken or messy while there. Some of the campers were very loud with their music too. Host was very helpful. My site didn't look like its pictures and didn't have a good tent space despite being a tent only site. Otherwise it wasn't a bad experience, it just wasn't the most relaxing place. Good views of the reservoir though!

The restrooms were closed and the portable potty/restroom were disgusting and not clean.
We had booked 2 nights but decided to stay only one night. We were really disappointed with this reservation.

After 30 minutes in my tent, I felt bug bites on my legs that stung: hurt like crazy. They were ants and so many of them got into my tent. I ended up sleeping in my car.
It was a huge plus that they have showers: not coin-operated.

Women’s bathroom was closed and we had to walk far to use the ladies room. The camp next to us ignore the quiet time and played music and were loud till 0100 am even after being told to keep it quiet. They did not respect the park ranger or volunteer and were loud after he left

The camp host is very nice and helpful. The sites are pretty spacious; Sites 5 & 7 are a bit shaded which is nice. The women's bathroom near our campsite was out of order during our stay so it was inconvenient and we ended up using the men's bathroom. Nice sunrise and sunset view.

Site 34. Very spacious. We have a big tent and we were able to get just enough flat land to make due. Sites were very spaced out around us. Bathroom/shower combo does create wait depending on hour.
