Wheeler Gorge is a really lovely place to camp. There is plenty of shade for all sites and you can hear the sounds of nature away from cars (except for your fellow campers). The only downside is that the bathrooms can be a bit overpowering if you are anywhere near them, and there is NO potable water available at all. At least the bathrooms are clean and it's only a half hour into town for water (or bring a filter and grab it from the stream). Beware of ticks, mosquitos, and poison ivy/oak.As a bonus, you can buy firewood directly from the camp host, extra cars are an option at $10 per night, and the Los Padres visitor center is wonderful when it's open (weekends only until 3pm).

Chill spot.. the water was running pretty good for a creek. The camphost was excellent. Beware, there was poison oak EVERYWHERE. I even tried to do a trail over by the bridge and stopped when I saw the path overrun by Poison Oak. You might even have some at your site, so watch the kids/animals. This place and Reyes Creek are great little spots for an LA local, but it's kinda scrubby if you are from far away. That being said, Kings Canyon and some other of our favorite spots were ruined by fires and floods, so camping in the Sequoias might be stories we only tell our grandchildren.

Pretty campground tucked between mountains. Check in was easy as the camp host was there to greet us. Most of our neighbors were asleep by 10 pm - this may have been partially due to the current no fires rule, but I was surprised how quiet it was. Only downside was our site (59) was behind the bathroom and there were some smelly whiffs when the wind blew in our direction.
