Open year-round except when weather or safety conditions require a closure. Reservations can be made up to four months in advance. All sites are reservation only. The campground sits at 2,100 ft (640 m) elevation along the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River under an open stand of oaks. Hot and dry weather in the foothills often require fire restrictions in the summer. In the winter, the campground is usually snow-free.
