We went there in 2009, stayed in the non-generator section of Lodgepole Campground. It was OK, we'd seen the big trees before near Calaveras Big Trees which I like much more. The trees are the only thing to see there worth seeing, DH liked them as much as Calaveras. They're wider around but not as tall as Calaveras.
One of the rangerettes was nasty to us, we left our bear box open for a minute while we went inside the trailer to bring something into the trailer in the morning, in the middle of preparing a meal, and she ran over and issued us a warning. We really didn't need to use the bear box because we have a hard sided trailer, but were being cautious.
Plus, my DH left his electric razor out on top of the bear box and it got stolen. We think the rangerette stole it.
Hopefully she's gone, but it left a big dent in our visit.
Oh yeah, about the 3rd day we were there, they started doing a controlled burn, the smoke was awful, it got out of control, I drove the trailer home by myself because DH and DS had to get back to work, and I barely made it with the smoke. We were stuck on the highway having to breathe in a forest fire.
Bad memories.
But go see it for yourself. You might like it better than we did. I count that one as one of our bummer vacations.
To me, it's nothing compared to Yosemite. Doesn't even come close, except for the trees.
