My family and I stayed for four days on campsite 30 and 32. Both sites were advertised as being…read moreable to accommodate a 30 ft trailer or RV. Upon arriving, we discovered the road within the campsite was narrow and very hard to maneuver the 27 ft trailer we had. We had to back the trailer into space 32 and let me tell you it was very HARD. Not enough clearance for tundra truck to maneuver into the site. We ended up having the trailer on the dirt and pavement, and at an angle to fit. This campground is not recommended for anything over 15 feet in my opinion. Also keep in mind it has zero hook up. We did utilize the dump station at Bonita Falls RV campground which was about a mile before Applewhite. Space 32 and 30 have a small incline of space between them so if you plan on having two spaces sided by side for larger groups, these sites won't work out well. Site 32 has one huge pine tree on it and 30 has no shade. The tent space will be right in the sun. Let me say it gets extremely hot by 7 am. The nights were a bit chilly so bring a sweater and blankets. One water spigot is across from site 30. The bathrooms are across from 32 and there is only ONE working toilet for women and for men for all the lower loop sites. That is not ideal considering the campsite was full. I saw portable toilets just at the entrance of the campground. Our site was along a dirt trail which was directly behind and above our sites. This trail had ATV and dirt bikes, as well as vehicles driving by at all hours of the day and night. Some vehicle driving by with loud music at 3 am. We also could hear traffic in the nearby highway. Not ideal but I guess for a location only a short distance from Fontana, you have to compromise. Definitely not the beauty of Sequoia. We we warned about rattle snakes and did see one on our last day and it came very close to my 2-year old grandson. Very scary. We saw deer along the mountain side, and the adjacent property to the campground had some llamas. There is a perimeter fence along the campground that makes it look like you're not really camping. We drove across the street to the Applewhite picnic area. The creek is ice cold and gets very very crowded on the weekends. We enjoyed Friday because it wasn't too busy. It is free if you are camping. Just show your camp pass. The camp host came by with firewood for sale and quiet time was not enforced. I would not return to this campground.

Pick up after yourself. Don't tag. Nobody cares about your tagging name or art or whatever. There's a time and place. Tagging the wilderness is not the time nor place. There's many secret places I hike, I won't put it out there because when you do, just look at Lytle creek. That's the outcome. Highlight of hike was seeing a herd of Bighorn up close. They were drinking from the creek. Absolutely beautiful.

Cute little picnic area nestled back in the hills area of Lytle Creek area…read more I can sit and watch the creek run for hours. Picnic tables are set up close enough to the water's edge that it makes for a quaint spot to eat and enjoy. Tables are sprinkled around so that there are quite a few yet not too close together, and plenty of shade. Parking is near the tables too, so you don't have to haul your stuff very far. Lots of parking spots up and down the picnic area and each bathroom is within a reasonable walking distance. Very sweet little spot. However, it's not really very clean. Not bad, but seems that the people using the area are inconsiderate. I guess that goes for anywhere in this country of ours, but maybe a ranger or park employee can make an extra sweep of the place to pick up trash. Toilets are pit toilets furnished with toilet paper and and sinks to wash up. There are cute little wood carvings placed around the site and an old shack near the entrance. They've definitely gone the extra distance to make it a cute place for a visit. Relatively close to the city, but far enough away that you feel like you are hundreds of miles up in the mountains. Fresh air, running stream, nature. Not a bad place to visit when you need a nice little get-away. CHEERS!!

Luckily it was a wide fire trail but it was pretty intense!!! Keep driving until the fire road ends. There is parking and a bathroom as well. It's been recently maintained with what looks like fresh gravel. No 4x4 needed. On my way up I was appalled at the graffiti! It's disturbing that punks can't respect nature and also pollute our water. Once you are on the trailhead it's a steady incline on a very narrow trail. But it's pretty well kept and it isn't overgrown much. I only took the path up to the Stone House camp, which stupidly there is no actual "stone house" also not really a camp I could find unless the camp marker was slightly off? But I don't recommend this trail one bit. The beginning of the trail is cleared and easy to hike down. But once you get to the creek it's hell from there on in and back out. The trail literally ends at the creek. I had to cross the creek a few times repeatedly. There are huge boulders and a lot of loose rocks. There are also a lot of downed trees, and don't get me started on the gnats! Plus tons of fire ants, regular house ants, and tons of spiders and spider webs! I had repellent on and the gnats were all over me 10 fold! It was hell trying to swat them away while climbing boulders, climbing over & under trees, and crossing the creek multiple times. The creek was roaring like crazy in places and a tad scary to be honest. In one crossing I lost my balance on a slimy rock and ended up in the creek. I finally decided to turn around, and nearly fell off a section of rocks that must have been part of a landslide, because when I started putting my body weight on them they tumbled down and I ended up cutting my leg on a sharp boulder. Trying to make my way out I regretted ever venturing into this mess. My advice stay on the main trail! I never did make it to the stream crossing, so maybe next time. It's all sun and it's extremely warm so bring lots of water. I did 7.25 miles and drank all my 2L water bladder. Watch out for small snakes that look like long lizards without legs. The one I saw was when I was walking back down towards my car on the fire road. There were a few homeless up there, in their cars with a forest adventure pass. I think they stay there during the day until the trail closes. So be careful.
