Soo peaceful and very central

We really had no clue which campgrounds to choose on our Kings Canyon and Sequoia trip so this was a random choice! It seemed like popular crowded sites were all booked out. So I chose this one because it has a nice stream nearby, it's so nice to camp near water. It was sparsely crowded, very quiet. It's a beautiful wooded campsite with spacious sites and small trails nearby. A bit of a drive from the national parks, but I think everything is a bit of a drive around these areas. It was still fairly central between the two national parks relatively. 

Easy to reserve online, picnic table, bear/food bin and firepit at each site. I liked that the firepits each had a grill on top! So convenient for cooking. Typical pit toilets close by with water spigots to wash hands and dishes. We most enjoyed having morning coffee and walking along the stream over the large boulders. It was summer so we appreciated this site at higher elevation with the chilled air at night. Very beautiful.
