Very nice campsites and nice surroundings. BUT...the entire area is thick with Rough Cocklebur plants. DO NOT STAY HERE WITH DOGS! The burs from these plants get in dogs' fur, cause pain, and have to be cut out. Terrible. Apart from that, there was a lot of litter around the sites: old toothbrushes, dental pics, even some needle plungers. When we visited, it seemed that the dumpsters had not been emptied in a long time.

Was able to find a spot level enough for our 21ft van… and the campground was quiet and beautiful. The night sky was gorgeous. We had the misfortune of arriving on a Monday in Oct…you could tell by how overflowing the trash containers were that the weekends at this campground are very popular. We stayed 3 nights and the overflowing garbage dumpsters were never emptied…so getting anywhere near them was difficult because of the smell. Good thing they apparently don't have a problem with bears (or any scavengers really)! They do offer showers with hot water (combined toilet/shower units) which is a huge bonus for this type of campground. But only at ONE of the bath houses, the second bathhouse has some roof problems that need to be repaired and they've brought in outhouses. However they were not cleaned or resupplied until Wednesday so make sure to bring your own TP and be able to overlook quite a lot of debris and dirt from the weekenders! Otherwise its a great place to stay when visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks

Access to the site was simple and easy. It would've been nice if the bathrooms were operational rather than just having portable toilets.

We selected a site less than 24 hours prior to arrival in October, but mid week. When we arrived the campground had many openings and our site was poor. But we just moved and enjoyed it for one night. Absolutely beautiful place.

We enjoyed our stay a lot! Will definitely stay again. Great location to take day trips into Sequoia NP! The road noise was not bad, but may bother those that are sensitive to that.
