The host made the experience the best. He was helpful with having firewood on hand as we ran out of time to grab any before. He explained everything with detail of what to expect and offered recommendations of hikes near by. Helped us accommodate with our camp sites despite having other work to do. Restrooms overall pretty clean for a vault toilet. 10 out of 10 host! Thank you!

This site is beautiful and spacious, in a really convenient spot for visiting Kings Canyon and Hume Lake and nearby hikes. Not far from Sequoia NP either. Bring your own water. Only drawback is it's a bit close to the road, but it was still quiet at night.

Such a beautiful spot! My family will be back! Campsite has a gorgeous view of the creek right next to it. And there is an awesome amount of space from our camping neighbors as well! Hume Lake is very close by!
