Quiet spot in the valley
Still a bit of a mess after the flooding and no staff. Very scenic and beautiful though. Sites are not very level so come prepared.
Beautiful location
This is a small place with very few campers. Some of the sites (75, 76 etc..) look out on Lake Kaweah. It’s clean and well organized. Some highway noise.
Pretty cool campsite
It has bathroom, shower, fire ring and a picnic table with shade. Got a little T mobile signal. Need to check in with the ranger when arrive.
