Nice campground along the Merced River. Currently 21 sites (20 sites available...site #21 held in reserve). Closed to swimming at the moment due to high water levels - assume this will change late summer, but call first if it's a deal breaker. River is moving swiftly, so be careful if you decide to swim anywhere along this river right now.

Most sites have shade. Lots of mature trees. Bathrooms are so-so, showers were gross. Noise levels were insane. Lots of families blasting Norteño music at all hours...was there Friday-Sun, so maybe try weekdays, or bring earplugs. On Friday one group was blasting music until about midnight. No response from the passive employees at this location.

Apologies if you like this sort of camping vibe...I can handle (and do expect) some campground noise, and have kids - so not bothered there. Don't mind generators if they're not too loud. Most newer gen models are pretty quiet these days. However, the younger crowd pumping tunes at this campground put things on a whole different level than anything I've seen elsewhere, and I've been camping a ton for over 20 years. Too bad as it's a relatively nice campground otherwise.
