Took my daughter, her friend, and our dogs camping and the camp hosts were very kind and generous. It’s directly across from Trail of 100 Giants and has a cute little gift shop. I would definitely recommend this campsite.
What a friendly; quiet; serene campground. We tent campers and had a great time. No electricity/ water provided just heads up. No bear boxes but there is a large beat proof dumper at the station.
And it's across the street from the the trail of 100 giant trees. Great views.
Great campground, well kept and the camp host is super nice. One thing to note is that if you're trying to go past ponderosa on the highway to hit the Tule River swimming holes or Stagg Tree the road is closed at the moment. Tail of 100 giants is right across the street and is relatively untouched even though most of the area was affected by forest fires in recent years.
Silly us for not reading the reviews on here and seeing that there is no running water. That made for an unwelcome surprise when we arrived.
Very quiet and idyllic with some little critters for company.
Host not on site and camp shop not open on Mondays or Tuesdays at the moment.
Pit toilets stunk! No lights in the ones at the back of the loop. Did have toilet paper though.
Dumpster was closed and locked.
These ups and downs mean I'm only rating this 3*
Our family just got back from a weekend trip here. First and foremost, I would like to thank Darin, the camp host, for making our stay feel so welcomed! He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the area and is willing to share that with his guests. We stayed in a yurt and it was very clean and spacious when we arrived. There were sheets provided, but we brought our own. Our campsite was so big and spacious, and located right behind us was a small creek and a beautiful meadow. We did extensive research before booking. Some essentials that we brought and we felt was necessary:
-Mosquito net with canopy (bugs can get annoying, comes with nature of course) but it really helped with enjoying meals and cooking
-Large gallons of water & portable shower (no running water on site)
-Pump gas at Porterville before heading up mountains (no gas stations for an hour going towards campsite)
