It was great camping for 4days last day we had a visitor. 700 pounds 🐻 bear if you keep your distance you're fine. Be camping for 25 years never had a problem with them .we're in their home.so we respect them.

Peaceful. (Except when the bears come through, then a bit noisy). Saw bears 5 times in 3 nights. Remember to keep everything priperly stored. And have a high powered flashlight to use when bears do come through. Easy access to the general store for small things. Clean campground and RR's were clean too.

Do you have to make a reservation? How much per night?

Athea Taylor | Oct 19, 2019
Rob | Oct 19, 2019

22 a night. Morraine campground next door was first come, first serve but is usually packed. In Kings Canyon you can set up a tent almost anywhere as long as it doesn't state no camping. You will only be missing out in bathrooms and a bear my get into your food.

what's the weather like

Walter Molina | Oct 19, 2019
Tim | Oct 19, 2019

Right now, the road to this campground is closed because of the winter snow and won't be reopened until spring. The weather when the campground is open is usually very nice. Cool during the spring, warm during the summer, and cool again in the fall. It can rain and snow there so you want to check to see if there may be a storm rolling through before you head out, but in my experience it has always been great, regardless of the weather.

You would either have had a confirmation email with a direct link or just log into your account from when you first made your reservation.

Are pets allowed?

Joe Silva | Oct 19, 2018
Aaron Leong | Oct 19, 2018

And on leash only, even though a lot of dog owners don't follow that rule.

If you have a multi-day reservation, they'll give your site to someone else if you don't show up by 12pm the next day.

It's first come first serve. Drive through to find a spot without a yellow tag on the post. Park in that spot. Then walk back to the entrance to register.
