We stayed at Swanson Meadows because everywhere else was booked. I'm so glad we chose this campground. The reservable campgrounds were packed! Swanson is a hidden gem. There's only like 8-ish campsites so there's never a ton of people. There's great trails through meadows from the campgrounds. The pit toilets were pretty stinky, but other than that, we loved this site. Very dense conifer cover. We let our dogs run around off leash. We went Labor Day Weekend. Of course we tried to NOT PAY since it's a non-manned campground. Ranger came around and collected money. No complaints though. Small price to pay for such beauty and seclusion. Campsites are far away from each other (most are at least). So glad we stayed here rather than JAMMED PACKED Edison or Dora Belle.
