Moraine Campground (CA)

Bears are everywhere

Great campsite. Some spaces have better views than others but they are all great. Bathrooms and bear boxes are clean. Sound of the river from many of the sites. Bear in my campsite first night. Follow food rules and make noise when you leave your the at night. Fires were ok but it's only what you can find on the ground. Tons of wood so that worked out well.

I felt threatened by the gang activity in Grant Grove Village. I thought this was supposed to be a family oriented park. Come on California, get your act together!

bathrooms could have been cleaner

Site 50 (and a lot of sites in this campground) has no tree cover. This site was flat and very conveniently located just by the bathroom and water spigot (and big enough to not be disturbed by people going to the bathroom and water). Even the trash cans were regularly cleared and did not smell. The bathroom has a sink and running water, and was genuinely one of the cleanest bathrooms I’ve camped near.

There were almost-hourly car alarms going off throughout the two nights we stayed (Juneteenth weekend) seemingly to scare off bears.

far into kings canyon, close to roads end

This was a great campsite in a cool location. Facilities were awesome and in good condition. We also got to experience some wildlife excitement. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

You’re near the roads end & the Mist Trail and there are both great. Also make sure and see Roaring River Falls. Being able to shower at the nearby Lodge is a huge bonus

Park is wonderful. The campground is well kept and easy to campi in. There are fewer trees than I wish. However, there are new tress planted in the open areas of the campground. So the future is bright. It was hot.

Very clean. Ranger presence - appreciated. Trash cans centrally located in the campground, be prepared for a walk but does cut down on metal noise. Sparse water spigots, however nicely marked with “do not wash dishes or brush teeth here” Please take water back to your site for this and do not contaminate ground water TY! A lot of sites without shade.
