5 star experience for those who look for wilderness with a toilet and running water!! We came from the south, heading northeast on CA-198 E. We took the CA-216 W to Dry Creek Dr. and stayed on that to Eshom Valley Dr. This was a long, narrow, windy road. Then Wortman Mills Rd to the campground entrance. Middle of nowhere before the Kings Canyon entrance. It was so quiet, and if you didn't breathe too loud, you could hear the creek from our campsite. Isolated dark skies and a million stars! The creek was within walking distance of almost all the sites. There is a large meadow at the end of the campground that was lush in August. There are bear boxes, fire rings, and tables on each site. The bathroom was clean and the spigot was close. We collected loose wood at the entrance for fire wood a couple nights. A great tranquil campground! I highly recommend visiting if you have time to commute to and from the park entrance. It's as close as you can be to the park without being in with the crowds. It took about 45 minutes on forest roads to get to the park entrance. Wortman Mills Rd turns left and becomes Forest Rte 14S75. Then a couple miles on 14S43 and 14S45, which ends at the General's Highway 180. The forest service roads are mostly compacted and smooth, with breathtaking vistas, but a few deeply rutted areas made me glad we brought my husband's Chevy Silverado and not my Subaru Forrester.

You need bear boxes and near campgrounds 3-6, there was trash strewn all over. Saw someone from the waste management contractor drive by, but the mess wasn't cleaned up. Come on. It was gross.

A little bit off the beaten path. Definitely don’t take the forest service road. Otherwise it was clean, quiet, and nice. No bear box but the host said we could leave our stuff in the car without issue.
