When we made reservations we were told by CA Park System operators this was a ""developed"" camping area. When we got there we found small campsites with cement slabs. NO water or electric hook-ups and a water spigot about two campsites away. Once you get there and it's the only show in town, it's a bit late to find out it's primitive camping. The bathrooms were deplorable with PAY showers! We had to PAY for a map of the hiking trails, which we found to be strewn with litter. The lakes/streams were littered with clothes and underwear -- UGH! Other campers were noisy -- we had to wear earplugs to get to sleep. Reading the other bad reviews, we're just glad we weren't there over a weekend! Now we know we don't want to live or camp in southern California!
Pros: Friendly Rangers, Beautiful Mountains
Cons: Undeveloped Campsites, Dirty Facilities
