We loved the campground, overall. The sound of the river muffled the normal campground noises of passing vehicles, car doors, and loud neighbors. Our kids had ample room to play and we felt safe letting them roam. The campsites are a little cramped, but that wasnt too bad. The site was well-equipped with a good picnic table, fire ring, and level tent pad. Our one major complaint, which is a common theme among National Parks, is that the restrooms and showers were disgusting. Just a little bit of effort to keep them clean would go a long way, but thats clearly a very low priority for the park service.

Nice site for backpackers making ready for the trails originating out of LodgePole CG, the Twin Lakes trailhead is within sight. Easy shuttle or trail walk through the giant forest from LodgePole to Crescent Meadows for the HST. There was bear activity in this area however, was not threatening- be sure to practice Leave No Trace. We hitched a ride up to the Wuksachi Lodge for breakfast which was awesome! This area was affected by the KNP complex fire just after our visit, and we hope to visit again soon to see how the area may have changed. NO CELL SERVICE... highly recommend a Satellite transceiver.

Great campground. We had a nice site overlooking the river. It was quite an experience. Going back for sure!!
