lovely area along the river. campground is large and busy. restrooms were okay with flush toilets. campsite was poor - slopey no shade very exposed. location was somewhat inconvenient - close to sequoias but far from the rest of the park.

We stayed for only one night and immediately regretted not staying longer. The campground is beautifully located, with large pitches and a river just nearby. We had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

Nice spot. Close to the river, but while relaxing, random people drove parked next to our campground to get a quick dip in the river.

Such an excellent campground. Rangers were nice and easy-going. Camground area itself was beautiful and wonderfully taken care of. Restrooms were really clean. Definitely a good place to camp.
