This camp ground is not on the way to anywhere, but worth the effort. The camp sites are well laid out. The reconstructed historical buildings are the reason for our layover.

Since the last review there have been some changes. Most notably two full hook up sites are available. One is reservable the other is first come first served. Full hook ups $30.00! $28.00 for over 65. Can’t beat it.

Fifteen back in campsites are open all year. Each campsite includes a picnic table, and a fire ring (RV hook-ups are not available). Some picnic tables have a shade cover. Flush toilets, showers and a dump station are located on the south side of the campground. The dump station has a $10 fee, credit card only. Multiple water spigots located throughout the park. Reservations are not necessary, but can be made online through Reserve California at least 48 hours in advance of your planned stay or by phoning Reserve California at 1-800-444-7275. Self registration available at entrance to the campground.
Roads and sites are paved. Site 15 was pretty level. Showed up on a Friday evening and only a few other campers here. Sites are spaced decently. Enjoyed doing the self guided tour of the historical buildings and learning about the towns history. There is a pretty active railroad line near the park. The noise didn’t bother me and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Had 2 bars Verizon signal. Adequate for texting, searching the internet, and streaming videos.

Newer camp with nice level pads for trailers. No hookups. Clean restrooms and showers (showers locked at night)t. trains run every few hours in distance. Very interesting and informative building reconstructions of original African-American settlers. Reminiscent of camping on the prairie- flat and wide open.

This was an interesting and unique place to camp en route to the sierras. No one else here at all on a Tuesday. History was interesting, campsites clean, self registration available (we got here at 8pm). Bathrooms were clean but showers were locked in the evening.
The only major downside is it’s right next to a very active train route and they’re pretty loud and a little unsettling at night.

This is one of our favorite places! We live only 15 miles away and so it is convenient for a quiet evening away. We always come early to mid week and there are never very many other campers. Some of the reviewers mentioned the trains, but I actually enjoy the sound of trains in the distance. This is dry camping at it’s best.

note: this low rating is only due to the following problem: while the park’s website does display a notice, from early March 2022, that because of ongoing construction, water access may be temporary interrupted, it’s not until you actually get to the park that you see the “boil water” notices; E. coli is present in the water. Obviously, you cannot boil water before filling up your RV water tank, and this location is remote enough to be completely inconvenient to only learn about the lack of potable water until after arrival. Park officials should display this notice on the website, as well. Very disappointing.

This is a perfectly nice campground in a fascinating location.
I’d guess that midweek, or in worse weather, this could be a pretty lonesome place to camp. But on a warm Saturday evening the day before Easter it was three-quarters full, with several family groups gathering in clusters of adjacent sites. This brought a positive energy to the campground, with people cooking, laughing, biking, and otherwise enjoying themselves. The the sites are spaced out enough, and people were considerate enough, however, that it never got boisterous.
Before the sun set, we biked around the historical buildings in the old town of Allensworth, using our iPhones to listen to stories of the original African-American residents who settled this place in the early 1900s. After dinner, we sat out by the campfire while the full moon came up and listened to the happy chatter of the other campers around us. I’ll remember this experience with a smile for quite some time.
No hookups, but a dump station (additional fee) and a few faucets scattered about the campground. Bathrooms and showers are clean. About half the sites have ramadas over the picnic tables, and most seem to have fire pits. There was a good presence from park rangers during the daylight hours, but they clocked out when their shifts ended. Nearby train tracks and a whistle crossing equaled some noise—guess we’ll find out how sound insulated our new trailer is tonight!

Be aware this is dry camping. I feels like you're out in the vast empty fields. Visited in early October and there was only one other camper there. Major train tracks skirt the east side of the park and trains run all day and night. They are fairly loud but I was able to tune them out. Made a run to town and when I got back a train was parked across the main road in waiting for another train to pass, for 45 min (earning a lower than otherwise rating for access). Clean campground and restrooms, shower and park. Many of the shade structures are missing at the campsites and others need repair.

As others have said, truly a wonderful place to stop if you like history. Imagine what the people who struggled with to realize a dream had to deal with!
I dropped one star because charging an extra $10 to dump over the $20 camping fee for dry camp isn’t right. The dump requires a credit card to operate, it should be able to accept a code from the camp check in or something.
The bathroom and shower were immaculate and free.
We were the only ones camping here, but all the spaces were reserved for the next day, Memorial Day weekend. The ranger said that was unusual and normally you wouldn’t need a reservation just use the self check in.
We would be happy to stay here again.
