Extremely well appointed and popular site within Samuel Taylor park, sleeps 50 with own parking lot, sink and multiple water sources, bbq and fire pit, plus shared access to 4 private baths and 4 private showers with nearby cabins. Direct access to challenging peak trail though need to cross somewhat busy road for easier creek trails and campground talks. No bears (or bear boxes) but many possums.
Visited this location with a group for a special event. I enjoyed the location. Lots of shaded places to setup tent. Two parking lots and hiking trails near by. Also a short drive to a swimming hole, or super short walk to the stream. There is a beautiful cathedral of redwoods here as well. Facilities were clean and well kept throughout the weekend. I think this is a great spot for groups. Just be aware of the poison oak!
Good camping spot. Clean real restrooms is a nice feature. Not too far from civilization if needed and plenty of wilderness while at the campground. You are not roughing it but tons of stars and s quiet place to camp. I'll be back again for sure.
Easy to get to. Stores close by and nature it’s a plus.
Prime location. Amenities: Sink onsite and nearby showers & bathroom. There’s a bit slope
