    4th of July, 2015. Don't know if it's a regularly schedule walk.
    ColumBA D.

    Campsite is small but near the lake. I believe it's been renovated as firepits are fairly new. There are pairs of flush & vault toilets so look around for your preference. Camp Host insisted on quiet time by 10pm even on the 4th of July!!?? Convenience stores & gas less than 1mile away. Lake Huntington is not very pretty, Shaver Lake (closer to Fresno) is more worth while. Hike nearby are easy and short that end in either a waterfall or river pools for a cool dip. Saturday Mornings there are wilderness walk at 10am.

    Very loud campground in the evenings and quiet hours are not enforced. Camp sites are also tiny and very close.

    Sierra National Forest - 2025 Jun 3: Perimeter Trail

    Sierra National Forest

    2025 Jun 3: Wawona Point (5 of 5)…read more Elevation Range: 5,093' - 6,805' (source: trail site) Estimated Time: 4 hours Round Trip: 8.04 (from where we parked: return) Difficulty: Moderate Our Hike Route: Back way to the Perimeter Trail towards Mariposa Grove, and up to Wawona Point To appreciate beauty, one must always accept some ugliness. Though The Sierra National Forest opens up its beauty to us, there are things we noticed that may have been scarred by either humans or from forest fires. The start of our trail was level and easy. The trail, in all its glory, boasts of its natural state: mountainous, rocky, uneven, and some elevation changes. We started early, but not early enough to make the 8-hour hike up and down. The lovely morning sun that offered us warmth, comfort and energy began to beat down on our backs as the sun's rays turned hot. Most of the trails were exposed and open, except for a few shady spots. (Note: Dress in layers, and bring plenty of water and a light snack.) Along the way, we had the pleasure of seeing a deer family enjoy the food that nature spread out for them, and gray squirrels hopping from one rock to another. Even the majestic trees that graced the forest floor that was burnt inside-out presented themselves in a beautiful light. The birds were our guides: singing and chirping as we hiked. The sad moment was seeing graffiti on tree trunks and rocks, and trash that humans left behind. We didn't bring a big bag this time, so we could not pick up all the trash that we noticed on the ground. The incredible moment was when we noticed volunteers cutting, shaping and clearing the shrubs along the way. We stopped to thank everyone of them. Miguel, one of the volunteers allowed me to take a snapshot of him. Four hours later, on the way down, the volunteers were still hard at work. Our appreciation for them went up tenfold. We were also surprised and grateful that the toilets were clean. Wawona Meadow greeted us with a panoramic viewpoint of Yosemite National Park. The stunning views of Wawona Meadow and Wawona Dome was a sight to behold on this clear sunny day. I think this is a hike worth doing.

    They have a "Free Lifetime Pass" card for military members with service-connected disabilities…read more Others with disabilities may receive this great benefit as well. The card provides free access to all National Parks and 50% off for parking, boat launching and camping too! Just bring in I.D. and appropriate documentation. For questions, I highly recommend calling in advance. Ask for Jamie, who is one of the ladies at the front desk. She is quite helpful and kind. Overall, the office has lots of great info for National parks and great activities like skiing, hiking, camping, fishing and all things wilderness. They also have a plethora of maps, booklets, handouts, guides and related information. I was even tempted to buy their "Smoky the Bear" stuffed animal. I remember his slogan from my childhood, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires."

    Hidden View Campground - Lake is getting full

    First off, I want to say that my 5-star rating only applies if you are visiting between mid-October…read moreand mid-April. During the rest of the year (April 15 to October 15), it's too hot to really enjoy camping either here, or at the Corp of Engineer's other campground at H.V. Eastman Lake a few miles to the northwest (Codorniz Recreation Area). The ideal months are probably November and March, especially if you are tent camping: not too hot in the daytime, not too cold at night. In December, January, and February, it's going to be really cold at night, the nights are really long (14 to15 hours), and those months have the greatest chance that it will be raining. If you are tent camping, I recommend that, if possible, you make a reconnaissance day trip in advance, and visit both the Hidden View and Codorniz campgrounds, to inspect the campsites for yourself. When tent camping, you really need the site, or at least the tent pad, to be as flat and level as possible. Both Codorniz and Hidden View are located in rolling hills and not all of the sites offer as much "flatness" as you might want, and it's almost impossible to really tell for sure what these sites are like from the photos on the Recreation.Gov website. Codorniz is not quite as hilly as Hidden View, and has more trees, but that said, the trees in both campgrounds are Valley oak (Quercus lobata), and these aren't really the best shade trees, having very small leaves. They are bare in the winter months and don't even start to develop leaves until late April, so in the winter and early spring, the trees all look dead and there's no shade at all. There are boat ramps and day-use/picnic areas at both Hensley and HV Eastman Lakes, but the lakea are relatively small, compared to Folsom Lake or Lake Oroville, and in the winter and early Spring months the water level is typically so low that the ramps might not even be open. Something to consider is that Hidden View campground is only 75 miles from Yosemite Valley: if you would like to camp somewhere with electric and water hookups that's reasonably priced, and make a day trip to Yosemite, Hidden View is a good choice.

    +3 stars for very friendly and helpful rangers and clean bathrooms. This is a very well-kept…read morecampground. -1000 stars for visiting in July. I'm sure this is a fine place in March. In July, it's like visiting Satan's favorite county park. It's 110 degrees, the lake smells gross, the bottom is all silty and nasty, and the area where the lake has receded from its high water level is muddy and squelchy. I think this is where parking ticket cops and used car salesman go on vacation. Probably also where those guys whose job it is to deny workers comp claims spend a weekend. Only somebody professionally evil (or a rattlesnake) could love this place in July (and I have my doubts about the rattlesnake.) You could drive 30 mins further and be in the Sierras where it's 20 degrees cooler, the water is clean and clear and doesn't smell like the decaying dreams of a homeless fisherman, and the bottom of the swimming hole is granite rather than a squishy layered lasagna made of the bodies of rotting demon fish. I also really don't get these reviews that are like "the lake is gorgeous." It's a man-made reservoir set in a relatively barren landscape. Yellow hills and oak trees here and there. It looks exactly like what you might imagine "we put a bunch of water in a place only fit for cattle grazing" would look like. This spot is the epitome of "the part of California you drive through to get to somewhere else." Still, it's clean and easy to get to and I recommend it as a stopping point on a road trip if you need one - just not in the middle of summer.

    This wasn't a planned visit, we broke down on our way to sequoia campsite and we're towed here…read more While it can't compare to the national forest for views, the park was safe and quiet. Unlike our forest campsite, we had full hookups, internet and cell worked great at the park. My husband was concerned about the neighborhood but we had no problems. The manager was gracious and greeted us and wished us farewell. The pool was lovely and shaded much of the day which was great in the 109 temps. The showers and baths were very nice and commented on by all in the group. It was a bit of a drive into Sequoia park, but it's still very doable. About 2 hours to the main attractions. We had dinner at the Sequoia Brewing Company which we'd recommend- see review. While this wasn't our first choice, it was very nice and still allowed us to get into the park.

Over the year we had absolutely no issues with our personal belongings or management. They took care of the lawn, bushes and flowers very well.

I will definitely miss calling this place home. They are also great with receiving mails and packages!

    Visited on more than one occasion. My last visit was June 2025. Our RV spot was perfect. My…read morediscontent was due to the lack of hygiene in the bathrooms. They are not cleaned and disinfected throughout the day. There's a sign inside the bathrooms telling the customer to call for service The staff were unresponsive to my concern. The store /office is only open from 10;00-4:00pm, requiring customer to wait till the next day to address issues The pool is open from 10am-10pm Great hours but be advised once the sun goes down there is minimal light There is ample places to sit by the pool and a few cabanas.

    We stayed here the last weekend of June, to avoid driving to Yosemite 2x in a weekend for our boys…read moresummer camp. We stayed in cabin 54 The pictures on the website look very well maintained and clean. Yet in person it was very unkept. The pool was slightly green, and Park had a few broken pieces, and a ton of weeds. I am so glad we didn't bring our golden doodle, because the dog park was dirt and weeks, along with our cabin area. We arrived an hour and a half before check in, we were told by the lady at the front desk that our cabin was a priority, however after an hour of waiting we had to leave to go pick up our son, we were told at 2pm that they were just need to add linens to our cabin and it will be ready, but we had to go. Check in time is 3pm. When we arrived back to the park at 4:30pm, we were told that the staff was still putting linens in our cabin. We couldn't check in until 5pm... 2 hours after their check in time. When I booked this cabin, I specifically asked the staff if the beds came with linens, or if we had to bring our own. I was told that this is similar to a hotel and all lines are provided. Grated after we checked in the office closed. We didn't realize till bed time that both bunks up stairs, and the pull out bed and no linens!! I tried calling the after hours number, only to be forwarded to voicemail. We had dirty dishes in the cabinets, old spices with spice residue in the cabinet, let over open bag of ice in the freezer, a sock in bedroom drawer. The TV WiFi wasn't working, dusty and dirty fans in the bathroom and the bedroom. AC unit in the living room wasn't working. The bedroom had 2 bedside lamps, one with a busted lamp shade and the other missing completely. The bedroom light, was flickering, and then shutting completely off, we had concerns of a shortage, but was told it was the light bulbs. The loft carpet smelt like piss. Siding coming off the staircase. Kitchen chandelier was hanging up by a plastic shoe hook. Just felt really dingy and dirty after seeing things. For the price it definitely wasn't worth it: the workers were semi helpful, and refunded me a night.
