Terrible place. Don't stay here!!!
Brook babbles all night. Stars are awfully bright and the sun rises early.
Awful! Bathroom full of spiders! Barely any water in the creek(can't swim) and there are always so many people crowding...
Great, quiet spot for camping, especially bikepacking since there is little traffic and it's FREE, no reservation required! There is plenty of water flowing in stream (as of May 2021), lots of room and a clean outhouse. However, there is NO bear locker, despite it being promised on the fs.usda.gov website. They should update that.
We had the entire campground to ourselves for two nights over fourth of July weekend which I found surprising because of how beautiful it is. The rangers seem to keep the grounds well maintained, as well the bathroom which was cleaner than other forests I've been to. The campground consists of majestic Sequoias and other mixed conifers, offering ample shade. An added bonus is the West Kaiser creek that runs right next to some of the campsites. Overall a very nice campground that I would recommend to friends. PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUT! THERE IS NO TRASH COLLECTION HERE.
