TEMPORARILY CLOSED
This campground, as well as the day use area are closed for the foreseeable future due to a safety of dams project. This looks to be a long-term closure. Here's the press release about it: https://www.parks.ca.gov/NewsRelease/1057
Quiet and reasonable
We picked it out on a map as close to half way to the Bay Area from Sequoia. It was a winner but there are lots of gnats around sites and bathrooms. Besides that, we were the only ones there! I would highly recommend it but could be hot in mid summer.
Hot but Fun!
This quiet campground was a blast! We went in august and it was HOT. Unfortunately (not the campgrounds fault) there is no where to go here to escape the heat unless you head a few miles into town. Even heading down to the reservoir proved to be a steamy place to hang out. We got pretty sunburnt…
