"River and Creek"

This is one of our favorite campgrounds in California.  It is in the heart of Cedar Grove, but further from the village which lends itself to being quieter.  It is close to the fast moving Kings River which is beautiful.  Much smaller Sheep Creek runs through this campground, with several campsites bordering this creek.  Our kids have spent countless hours tossing rocks into this little creek, walking up and down it's banks and building their own "beaver dams".  One year we set up our tent right next to the creek which actually made it hard to sleep because the creek kept bubbling its happy, but loud sound all night long.  

Bathrooms with running water available.  No lights or electricity in the bathrooms so bring a flashlight for night time potty runs.  All campsites have bear boxes which are mandatory to use.  However, some are in full sun which means the food inside can get quite warm.  We bring an extra shade tent for the bear boxes to keep them cooler.  

There are frequently bees in this campsite which love to eat meat.  So keep food covered and bring bee traps or bug zappers.  

Campsites near the river have a steep hill down to the river.
