We really enjoyed this campsite (despite some loud neighbors). The sites really do vary based on where they're at in the grounds, so make sure to look at the map carefully. We picked one in back and were very happy. We loved the easy access to the free public shuttles around the park, as well as the relatively near market/store for supplies ranging from outdoor/backcountry equipment to s'mores supplies, ice and beer. I would have liked to stay longer (on a less crowded, non-holiday weekend) and camp there while enjoying many of the beautiful day hikes in the area, taking full advantage of that shuttle system!

We camped out at Jenkinson at Sly Park Recreation area. As hikers (not boaters), this wasn't a very impressive area or very impressive campsite. The campsites were shallow (relatively close to the road) and pretty close together (we had some kind of college party across the way, and we could hear pretty much all of it). It was a pretty, tree-covered area that we enjoyed spending time in, and it had all of the basics covered (decent bathrooms, bear boxes, adequate room for cars and tents).

This campsite was great - enough space on the campsite itself, plenty of space between sites, room for cars. There were also tons of trees between the sites, which really helped give it a feeling of privacy. There are lots of great trailheads nearby for hikes that really make you feel like you're far out there, even when you're not. Also just a nice campsite to hang around and relax. Bear bins and picnic tables at the site. Bathrooms were pretty clean for campgrounds. Good stuff!

This campground was pretty much perfect. It was far enough off the main road to lead to a feeling of seclusion. The nearby lake was beautiful, especially in early morning, and it provided an entry and exit point to the quieter side of the CA wilderness, such as Ansel Adams Wilderness (for when you don't want to fight the crowds in Yosemite). Bear lockers provided at each site; bathrooms were respectable; the nuts and bolts were all there. Campsites didn't feel too crowded between sites, though there isn't much in the way of trees, etc. to create a barrier, so you could pretty much see all your neighbors.
