The rangers werent especially friendly forcing us to move our car because of the mud pit in our sites parking location and then were also unfriendly when we were riding our scooter back to our site from overflow parking because apparently scooters arent allowed even though wed seen many other campers riding bicycles around the campground.

Only stayed one night to try out my new setup but it was great! Campsites are clean and quiet. Portable toilets are well maintained, and we got lucky because the balconies caves were open for our large loop the second day. Great hikes, beautiful views, wonderful park!

Nice clean campsite by the creek with full shade in mid December. Large flat area for any sized tent(s) Campground was quiet with the lone exception being the gaze of racoons raiding the few occupied sites. They're quicker and bolder than you'd think here. Hot shower was a welcomed surprise in the frigid morning. No issue finding parking at trailheads mid-week the week before Christmas.

We arrived at 7pm, after hours, there is NO support and someone was on our site. Seems the campground mgmt didn't plan ahead during a planned PG&E outage so they were telling ppl checking in to squat on any site. There are not self registration cards for late check in either. There is no after hours contact information either. In addition, although the campground advertises flush toilets, beware that the 59-79 loop are porta potties, not cool. Plus there are shower trailers and they is only a small number of them. Cell service is limited and spotty. Now back to the squatting... NO APOLOGIES from mgmt the next day and we had to waste our morning to wait for the squatters to vacate our site and move to our correct site. Then they dared to charge us a site transfer fee as well when we complained about the bathroom. Last unfortunate part of our trip, the bathrooms they do have do not have any lights, so bring a flashlight. Otherwise, we made the most of it and enjoyed our stay.

Weve been to this campground a few times before but were surprised that bathroom facilities close to our campsite were closed and replaced with portable toilets. Also surprised that the shuttles were not in service. Trails and caves were well maintained. Staff in the visitor center were super kind and helpful in advising hikes for our group.

As soon as we got settled and group of deer wandered past our campsite, we also saw a number of quail. The tree cover was nice making our site feel secluded even though there were other campers near by.

It's hard to rate the campground without the park which was a little gem, but the camp site that we had, had it's drawbacks. Some of those may have had to do with the time of year. The negatives were LOTS of flies, some very bold and persistent racoons, and the tree that was over most of our site, although it provided some nice shade, it also dropped tons of pitch. In the 36 hours that we were there it got pitch all over our car and tent. The picnic table was covered in it too so that we had to put paper down otherwise we would stick to the bench and table. Luckily the pitch came off with warm water and some scrubbing. The campground has toilets at one end, but where we were staying it had only port-a-pottys so look at that when you pick your site.On the positive side there were lots of animals in the area and the trees did keep the hot sun off. There is also a swimming pool near by to cool off in.

We stayed in site 60C and loved it. It has full shade (with some peak-a-boo sun at mid-day), so it stayed nice and cool. You have neighbors on both sides, but still somewhat private depending on where you situated your tent. It's situated along a small creek but not readily accessible, given the overgrown bushes.
The pool was awesome; we enjoyed a hike in the morning, lunch at the camp, and swimming in the afternoon. There is no cell reception in the park, but for $10, you can buy access to wifi at the camp store. So you can chill next to the pool, checking email while the kiddos swim. The showers were standard camp showers, i.e., they could be cleaner, but the water is warm, and you are clean.

The trails were great, camp sites were good n had decent privacy, showers under construction , I would have rated 5 but store sold me wifi n didn’t tell me it only works while at the store.i lost $10 there as I thought it went to sites too. Bathrooms were kept up well and I plan to go back in the future.

We had a beautiful site (#60).
Our 26’ Class A fit just fine.
Very quiet and very private even though it was a full campground. Backed up to a small stream.
The showers were being remodeled so we did not use them but did not need them with our motor home shower. The tent cabins look very nice. The store is amazing. A miniature Walmart. The shuttle into the park was very nice and the driver was very informative. We dumped our tanks as we left. Good access to the dump station. We will definitely be back.

Nice camp sites, clean bathroom. Friendly staff

This campground has a lot of sites in direct sun with no privacy and just totally open. Mine was almost entirely shaded and partially surrounded by trees and brush. If you're okay with being right on top of other people in most sites, it's fine. I appreciated that there were flushable toilets with sinks and soap, though the lighting in the bathroom was very bad. The campground hosts were lovely and one even checked in on me, probably because he realized I was camping alone as a somewhat young woman. In mid September it was very hot, even in the shade, so plan accordingly. It's not a far drive to the trails, maybe 5-10 mins. The raccoons there are very audacious, came into my camp before 9 PM. A skunk also came into my camp but looked at me and did nothing. The cicadas (I'm assuming) were VERY loud. I heard lots of woodpeckers and saw many deer around the campgrounds.
Tip: I drove from the campgrounds to the west entrance on my last day. Google took me down La Gloria Rd. DO NOT DO THIS!!! It will lead you down an unpaved dirt road to closed gates and you will have to go down a very steep, winding road.

Our camp site was taken by someone else when we arrived and the camp host wrote a temp pass for a different site but we had to pay for two nights minimum...

This Campground offers a variety of options, depending on your style you can get a private, tucked away tend only spot in the shade, open spaces that allow for sun and stars, some spots are perfect for sharing, tend cabins and lots of RV sites.
There are hikes you can take directly from the campground. If you hike with smaller kids it might be worth driving up a bit so you can make it to the caves. It’s worth it!
There is lots of wildlife to see, watch out for birds and snakes. We also saw deer, quails, raccoons, rabbits, mice, etc.
Absolutely fabulous place!

Did a solo backpacking for 2 nights here and had an absolute great time.
Couldn’t have chosen a better campsite location (site 60), it had privacy and was close enough to the restrooms which were pretty well maintained throughout the time.
The hiking trails is the best part here, just absolutely beautiful!
Recommend to just hike to the hiking trails instead of driving there. Gives you a really nice scenery of the trails on the way there.
Go as early as possible, and take more than enough water if you’re planning to hike up the Bear Trail mountain, which tends to get VERY hot and humid. It’s only about 60ish degrees at this time but feels like 90 with high humidity and sun focused area at the top.
