This campsite was huge! Stayed here for 4th of July weekend. I booked it for about 35-40 people and it was perfect. There were 4 food lockers and 2 shelves (only 1 had a lock but it didn’t seem secure). Plenty of benches for everyone to sit and eat. The vault toilets were clean. Also, there’s 2 faucets—1 by the benches and 1 by the restroom. There are 4 restroom stalls. There is one huge trash bin near the entrance of the campsite.
I love that it was 30-40 minutes away from General Sherman going Southbound and Hume Lake and General Grant going Northbound. Also, across the street is Stony Creek Lodge which has a gas station!
This site is in Sequoia National Park, so you have to pay or use an annual national parks pass to enter.
