Super location, some road noise from the highway
Pros - you are in the middle of the Sequoias, near hiking, kayaking, etc. Beautiful river nearby; pretty easy in and out for small-ish RVs. Hard to beat the location.
Cons - some road noise from Hwy 4, trucks going by were sometimes pretty noticible; some toilets and showers were pretty nice,…

Amazing site in redwoods
Great view, great facility and coin-based shower, great trails, great water access, very clean sites.
The sites are a little close to each other but we were ok as a family with small kids. Other reviews complained about yellow jackets but we didn't see them.

Great park, beware the yellow jackets!
This is a super magical park! Giant trees, great visitor center and junior ranger program, and swimming in the Stanislaus river (cold but refreshing!!)
