This is my go to area for snow time it’s so magical. I’m going camping in the summer to explore the sites when the snow disappears but it’s so pretty even with snow. Definitely recommend and I’ve been going for three years now and always a beautiful place. They have bathrooms but no toilet paper in the winter at least. And only off the road parking since the parking lot is covered in snow.
Campground reservations for the good sites are hard to come by, but we usually manage to find something, and come here every summer. A lot of the stuff was built by the WPA and they have these cool rock stoves in some of the older sites. Camping on the meadow is amazing and there is truly something for everyone here. Great for kids, great for adults, whatever. And the trees are indeed big. The North Grove sequoias are stunning.
Didn't stay at the campground but did take the North Grove walk. Wow! Great trail, just watch for the stones protruding above ground.
Nice and clean. This place is outright stunning! My nieces enjoyed the camp grounds. Bathrooms are clean and hot showers are available and clean. I will go back there again.
This place is outright stunning! My kids and I camped for the 1st time here. Bathrooms are clean and hot showers are available (bring quarters). The host and rangers are super friendly and helpful. There is a town nearby in case you need to buy things. I don't recommend eating at the restaurants (too expensive and mediocre). We went 2nd week of October and it was very cold at night. Also note campfire restrictions. Notice says restrictions until Dec 31st 2021.
