Located in the Sierra National Forest, along the Kings River, near the base of the Wishon Reservoir Dam. The campground offers space for up to 50 people in incredible surroundings. Wishon Reservoir is popular for fishing and boating. Only a short walk from the group campground are a number of wheelchair accessible fishing platforms along the Kings River. These platforms make the campground a great choice for anglers with mobility difficulties or for supervised small children who want to fish. Wishon Reservoir is popular for paddling kayaks, canoes and rafts.
Nearby trails lead into the John Muir wildernesses. Named after the naturalist devoted to protecting and preserving some of this country's natural treasures, the area stretches 100 miles and encompasses snow-capped mountains, deep canyons and vast expanses of terrain carved by glaciers.
A public boat launching facility is available at the south end of the lake. Operated by Pacific Gas & Electric, the Upper Kings River Group Campground has 5 campsites which form a single group campground for up to 50 people. Each of the 5 campsites has 2 picnic tables, a fire ring, a lantern holder, and pads for 3 tents. There is a central food service area with 2 food preparation tables, 2 barbecue grills, and a food storage building. The group site also has a large fire ring with 10 benches.
