We went last weekend and it was pretty late in the season, so the visitor center and grocery store was closed. Weather was quite chilly so campfire a must. Nearest firewood was from Grant Grove village. The ranger on duty was really friendly. Nice and quiet campsite within pine forest and next to the Kings river.

Great stay with beautiful views. Bathrooms were conveniently located. Only downside was we left on a Sunday morning and EVERY trash bin was full and zip tied closed.
