The entire grounds are beautiful, but if you can stay by the river, you should! Recommend getting a site not directly by the bathrooms because they are vault toilets and the smell tends to drift. No showers or running water, but silver city resort is right down the road and has showers, food, and a small store. The only down side is the drive up the mountain, which takes about 45 minutes and does not access sequoia, only mineral king trails. Worth the drive, beautiful views, but would not recommend if scared of heights.
