This camp site was perfect! The water spigot was right beside it and the bathrooms are very close. The site has a large slope so we were worried about where we would put our tent but we walked up the slope and to the right was a nice flat spot by the tree where people obviously set their tent up. An 8’x8’ tent fit perfectly, could probably get away with another foot either way. This site is also pretty separated from the other camp sites which was so nice since a lot of them are very close together. There are also large rocks that are fun for kids to climb on at the top of the slope. Will 100% book this exact site again!

We were at campsite 40 and I could not recommend this spot more! Amazing views of the sunset and cool spots to explore around the site. If you are looking for a good day hike I recommend the Great Lakes Trail to Lake Heather. A bit of a drive to the trailhead (about 50 minutes) but I promise the views were worth it!

The campground was almost empty so it was very quiet and peaceful. The site was quite large and gave me a choice of three different places for my tent. Only negative was the large amount of ants! The campground is close enough to the Grant grove, the ranger station and the store that you can walk so that's a plus also. Had a great time

Sites are close together, small, and no privacy but you’re close to the amenities of village and the park entrance. Holiday weekend crowd is rowdy and loud, so plan accordingly as there are no staff, day or night, on site to help negotiate the standards of shared spaces or limit the people coming in 2-4 AM. Staff must pop in occasionally to clean the bathrooms but we never saw anyone official. Would possibly go back on a weekday for the mountain side sites or if the plan was to drink and sing until the early hours.

our campsite was within walking distance to the info center, store, cafe - might be a good idea for anyone booking to look at a detailed map on exactly where each campsite is located relative to bathrooms, roads, other campsites, etc - you can always call the Park - they might take a couple days to get back with you but they will
BOOK AS FAR IN ADVANCE THAT YOU CAN
