If you don't like crowds, consider the surrounding Sequoia National Forest - it has all the glamour without the drawbacks. If you are willing to boondock, you will almost have the campgrounds all to yourselves. You will discover piles of cut firewood left for your use by the utility buildings in the campgrounds. If your vehicle can drive on graded fire roads, you will enjoy empty Giant Sequoia Groves, sans rangers, fences, markers, and other visitors. Yes, it will drop into the high 20's overnight, but will thaw again in the morning. It's worth experiencing at least once for the solitude and raw beauty. We've visited the Park a couple of times and stayed at private RV parks to have the facilities, but most of our trips are as tenters and much prefer the Forest to the Park.
