A campground that I vividly remember as a kid, I returned to visit after 12 years.

Centralized in Sequoia National Park, the campground finds itself near a large visitor center, a general market, and has running water and flush toilets throughout. I find that these elements combined attract a lot of "new" campers who aren't quiet in tune with proper etiquette.

Lots of noise in all this hustle-and-bustle, may not make it your ideal retreat. People crossing through sites to get to the bathrooms without saying hello, and loud music up until curfew.

Big plus, lots of hikes are nearby - I recommend wilderness press Sequoia and Kings Canyon Hiking and Backpacking Trails
