Great campground, but a long, tense drive from the Valley after a busy day of hiking. Peaceful, good size sites, but bathrooms aren't convenient to all sites.

Came for my son’s 2nd birthday I enjoyed it. Will say this is really close to the next campsite but it was not an issue for us as everyone who stayed there only came to sleep and they would dip really early but if your looking to find the perfect side by side campground I’d say th one we stayed and the one next to it are good. The restrooms were really close including the water fountain. Just be aware of when your booking they do NOT let you in until noon as they close the gate from loop b and c temporarily if you plan on coming earlier than check in time just be aware of this. It was about an hour drive up to the park but well worth it

Campground was extremely clean. Saw and talked to Rangers everyday. All of them were very excellent. They provided valuable information and were very friendly. The volunteer at the gate was also great. We were in a jeep and looking for places to off-road. He provided great destinations each day. Supplies were readily available just a couple miles from the camp.
Top notch.
