It is inexcusable that you cannot reserve same-day at this campground. There is absolutely no reason for it to be that way. Rangers come by frequently and they are able to check reservations and will ask you to leave because you can’t make a same day reservation, yet there are dozens of campsites unoccupied that could be filled, yet you can’t reserve same day. Make it make sense…. This is a huge wasted opportunity and frustration

While this could be a great campsite with good access to both national park and amenities, we specifically booked a site to have showers and restrooms for the night. We had no prior warning that the showers would be down and only porta pottys put outside. Also, the gates were supposed to be closed for security which was not done. There was clearly someone living out of there car right by our site with trash all over.

This was a great campground. The valley was gorgeous, sites spread out nicely -- choose your site carefully, many are not level enough to use with a trailer. Changing sites is painful, Recreation.gov does not give enough control to the local staff to make on-the-fly changes. We stayed here in mid September. After talking to the Ranger, spring stays are out of the question - the campground is underwater from spring run off! :-)

Don't even think about taking a shower or going to the bathroom here. Light didn't work although I would've preferred not to see how disgusting those toilets/showers were.

We stayed in site #51, which is a boondock, back in. Leveling was a challenge in our 39'MH but doable. We had a picnic table and fire pit. The view from our site was incredible. We had a pleasant experience with all staff we spoke with. Roads in the park are a little narrow with a few sharp turns which made navigating our rig a bit difficult. Definitely recommend disconnecting the toad at the office. We were able to stream with AT&T, but cell coverage was spotty. Sequoia NP is less than 30 minutes up the road. As with most all COE parks, it was quite clean and well maintained.

Keep in mine I went in March! It has a great view of the lake and mountains! The sunset and sun rise is beautiful also!! There some shade but not much, it’s walking distance to a water valve and the Restroom are up the hill across from the office(when I went the bathrooms weren’t working so they had porta potties but they were cleaned ever other day) and there’s another bathroom that has showers(there’s hot water!) but that’s on the other side of the campground if you want to go on adventure you could walk there but be careful because people think the campsite is for day use or first come first serve so they will drive in and leave, if they stay the Park Rangers will tell them to leave and explain the rules. The Park Rangers drive around often to check up on the campground there’s a maintenance guy he’s pretty cool just don’t mess up the campground! But it’s very peaceful for the most part when I went, I’m already going back in a couple of months but at a different campsite got to find my favorite one but so far my number one!!!
