Very beautiful and wild campsite. It almost feels like wild camping in nature. The pitches are very large for those of us who were in a tent, and the grill area is well maintained. There are no showers

We loved the campground. It is far from the valley, but the drive to the main attractions wasn't too bad since we only did it 4 times & there wasn't a lot of traffic. We would definitely stay in this campground again.

Loved the campground and the campsite, but do not leave your coolers out for any reason if you’re not on the campsite. They are not kidding, no warning given. They will confiscate your coolers WITH our drinks and give you a $205 ticket, THEN get your cooler back. Understand it’s for our safety but would’ve appreciated a warning since not all of us are experienced campers. It’s alright learning as I go, love campsite otherwise.

Clean well kept park with easy access to view Sequoia National Park. The only down side is almost all sites are very un-level both directions making it extremely hard to level a RV. Using are largest leveling blocks we were still 1.5 inches off level side to side.
