The campground is clean and nice! The rangers are really great, helpful and make amazing programs. The only bad thing is that the campground is loud during the weekend.

Amazing location in Kings Canyon. About a two minute walk down to the river. The bathrooms were in poor condition with toilets backed up and the floor needing to be swept. Overall, a great campground, but needs some TLC regularly to maintain the bathrooms better.

Very nice campground close to several hiking trails. Flash toilets, showers nearby as well as visitor center and a store.

You might consider recommending limiting open fires. With a lack of wind the air quality was in the very unhealthy range. PM2 levels were way up there. I know open fires are a part of camping but most wood burning can absolutely ruin the air quality
