We were in #5 which was too close to the bathroom. I would choose a different spot if I were to do it again as the toilets were smelly if the doors were left open.
It was unfortunate for us that we couldn't have a campfire or use charcoal, but we understood the fire danger. Someone told us that there is a $500 fine, but some people did have them. A sign at Trail of the 100 Giants said that campfires are allowed at Holey Meadow, but there is a sign at the campground saying that you can't. We used our propane stove, but we had to get an online fire permit. It would also be nice if there was water, but we did fine with 10 gallons for 2 nights.
There are also bugs flying around, in the late afternoon especially, but I only got one bite after using bugspray and a citronella wristband. It was very quiet!
We didn't find a lot of places to visit, but we enjoyed going to the Trail of 100 Giants ($19 day use parking fee), Dome Rock, and the General Store in Ponderosa.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay.
