Pleasant stay at Sweetwater. The creek is really fun to jump in, especially on hot days. The best sites are by the creek, 5,6, and 7, but all are pretty nice. There campground is about 2 miles away from the Wagner Store in case you need something. The Forest Service guy who checked us in was very helpful. He came by at 2:30 and marked sites as reserved for folks who arrive later.

Went camping with the family and we had an amazing time. Only bad thing is not electricity not cell signal and they have outhouse restrooms. But when you go camping that's what's expected just relax and the swimming areas are beautiful.

The only nice thing about this campground is the sound of the water. The port-a-potties were MOVABLE. Yes, I kicked the toilet and it MOVED From the base. Do you want to fall into a port-a-potty?! Also, the campsites are VERY close to each other so you can hear everything the next person over. The firewood they give you is very little so the fire only lasts 2-3 hours at most. The surrounding area has little firewood so you need to make your own firewood. Suggestion: Bring an axe. No Internet. I would never recommend this campsite.

This is one of two campsites in the area named Sweetwater! This one takes reservations and is gorgeous. There is a beautiful creek and the sites are spacious and surrounded by trees. You have to drive a ways in the middle of nowhere to get there, but it is a great way to feel close to nature that you won't get in the big parks! However, if you are choosing this campsite under the impression that it is close to Yosemite YOU ARE WRONG! It takes a minimum 2.5 hours to drive from this site to the park, so if you're ok with that then go for it, but I don't recommend it (as someone who tried).

It's Sierra Backcountry camping with the luxury of having your rig in the campsight, which is an absolute blessing. This campsite gets three stars, instead of five, because some who stay here feel it acceptable to litter wherever they see fit. It is a gutwrenching feeling to walk in Sierra beauty and come across a makeshift campsite that was simply abandoned, bags of trash scattered everywhere from being left behind for wildlife to scavenge. 😢
