"John Muir Lodge is in an unbeatable location in Kings Canyon NP, with trails accessible right outside your door. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The pillows were comfy, the shower was glorious, and the lounge is a cozy place to drink coffee in the morning. However! Please know going in that there is only one restaurant available for all lodge guests, campers, and day visitors, and they are super understaffed (not their fault). The restaurant staff we interacted with were incredibly kind, patient, and friendly despite people getting frustrated and behaving in really gross, rude, entitled ways. Please bring your patience and most considerate manners when you visit. It's a remote location with minimal amenities, not Disneyland. If you have the right expectations and are here to appreciate the beautiful park, you'll love it."
