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.

An incredible view to wake up to! Just a short drive or walk to get to the visitor center/your shuttles that take you farther into the park. Quiet and well kept with clean bathrooms and showers.

The site is well maintained with a registration area, trash/recycling center, and small supply store for the ground residents. A small lake and large river run alongside the back sites (G and H), but no more than a 10 min walk from any other site in Madison. Tent set up locations in gravel pit, bear box, park bench style table, and fire pit provided on each site. Multiple bathrooms per loop with potable water, sinks and toilets only. Quiet hours from 10 pm to 6 am make the area lovely to sleep in. We arrived a little last, so the uploaded videos of the lake and site are dark (sorry!).
