It was a great place for meeting up with dozens of friends from all over California. Great environment. But keep in mind - on top of the fee for staying at the site, you need to pay $30 for entering Kings Canyon National park, drinking water on site is a question - bring your own, no shower on site (just the cold stream river 10 min walk), no camp fires permitted at national monument in summer (although they say in a state park near by camp fire is permitted). Overall it was a good stay
