We are heading to Yosemite next month, and are taking our little EV, instead of the truck, so this was a test of our new camping setup, including charging along the way. We didn't want to go too far, so we decided to try this park we were told about last year.
The weather was great. No wind, comfortable in short sleeves, and the tide was going out, so we checked out the small tidepools and enjoyed ourselves.
Here is the view from our campsite. The sound of the river was very relaxing.
It did rain during the night, but not to heavy, and the tent did keep up dry.
The feature of the park is this waterfall, along with the very inviting looking swimming hole next to it. It's a very short walk to this swimming area. I'm sure it is very popular. We were not able to reserve a campsite for any of the summer weekends. There is a day use area, but it's a bit of a drive just to go swimming.We would like to come back to this campground. It's clean, friendly, quiet, beautiful, and has showers as well.
