Our group stayed across 3 campsites in early June. Campsites 12,13, and 14. OverallThe host (Tim) was great, very nice and accommodating. Firewood was available for sale (we didn't buy any). Plenty of downed wood in the area for collection. Bathrooms are pretty well kept and not smelly. They had TP stocked. Water spigots were readily available throughout the campground.We were next to a loud group and the first night they had music and loud talking till about midnight. The host reinforced the quiet time hours with them and we didn't have any other problems.Directions/TravelDepending on which map you use, it may show the road as closed. We found it difficult to find information on the road closures/conditions. As of June 2024, you can access the campground from either direction. Even though there were "road closed" signs up, it was indeed open. We recommend avoiding the 190 route if you canit's in very bad shape and there is still lots of construction happening.ActivitiesDome rock is great for stargazing. You can drive all the way to the rock and it's a short walk to the top. There are a few trails near the campsite. Trail of 100 giants is about 25-30 minutes away and definitely worth a visit. There are multiple parking lots so if one is full, drive down the road a bit to the next one. We paid $12 for parking. WeatherIt can get a little hot during the day, but there are lots of shady pockets throughout the campground. With the breeze, it was very comfortable. At night it does get pretty cold, recommend using a low-temp rated sleeping bag.CampsitesCampsite 12 - Great spot. Very large with enough room for 3 large tents. Proximity to bathrooms and water but no smells. Main downside is that the fire pit and folding grill are in pretty bad shape. Campsite 13 - Would not recommend. No shade during the day and only room for one tent on a slight slopeCampsite 14 - Pretty nice, good room for tents and some shade during the day.

Never have I ever met a better Camp Host in 50 years of camping. Excellent in every way, directions, firewood, clean bathrooms.. and when we heard he did it all alone up to 250 campers at once I say give him a raise and Keep Him!

We had a great time camping. The camp host was very helpful/friendly. The area was well maintained. It was close to a few nice little hikes including the 100 Giants!

Beautiful campground with many trees and large meadow just a short walk away. Parking can be a little tight for multiple vehicles. i stayed at site 14 where and didnt have much shade throughout the day, but a canopy did they trick though. No storage box on our site either. Dome rock was a short drive away with beautiful view of the valley. Trail of 100 giants is a must see, arrive early as parking can be hard to find.
