Our camping site 069 was great - it’s a bit more work since it’s a hike-in site (a short walk up a makeshift path to your camp site from the parking spot) but we liked that it was up above the street level and further from the neighboring camp sites compared to those below. It’s also very close to the river for easy access, and walkable to the visitor center for supplies and food. The bathrooms were close by but lacking - no lights so you need to bring your headlamp at night, one window must have broken so it’s boarded up, and the automatic sinks are a bit difficult to use. They also needed to be cleaned more often, however the flushing toilets are better than vault toilets at other campgrounds. On our last night there, there was a lot of screaming drama in the site next to us from 2-5am. I take it that it was the rangers who came - close to half a dozen of them by the time things were settled - and they did work hard to figure out the scenario and thankfully keep everyone safe.

This was an excellent campground. It is close to the giant forest, so you won’t need to go far from the campground to see the big sequoias, including the General Sherman. The campground was mostly peaceful and was nicely treed. The river at the campground was a nice place to hang out as well. Additionally, there was a store that sold many essential items and souvenirs. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience.

We stayed at this campground and had a great experience overall. The sites are spacious, and we were lucky to get one of the best spot site 135. I also noticed that sites 134 and 136 are excellent choices as well. Each site comes with a food locker, which is very helpful for keeping supplies safe from bears. The bathrooms were just okay and could definitely be improved; with better facilities, this place would easily earn a full 5 stars. As it stands, I’d rate it 4/5. The campground is only a few miles’ drive from the General Sherman Trail, making it a convenient base for exploring the park.

We spent 2 nights and 3 days at site #195. I was a bit concerned it might be noisy at night due to wild animals, but it was actually very quiet. Breathing in the fresh phytoncides made me feel both physically and mentally refreshed. Camping in the mountains surrounded by dense sequoia trees was incredibly healing. The kids were so happy as well. The only downside was the restroom—it wasn’t cleaned frequently and was quite dirty at times. Other than that, the location was perfect for visiting nearby attractions, and we especially appreciated the shuttle bus service that made it easy to get around. Park staff regularly patrolled the area, and if any campsite was left unattended with food or belongings outside, they would leave a warning note because of the potential danger of bears. It felt way too short to only stay for 2 nights. Since it’s a very popular campground, I’m planning to book earlier next time and stay longer. I would definitely recommend this campground to others!

May 31st-June1st 2025: Our campsite was pretty decent. We were able to enjoy the sounds of the rushing waters nearby our campsite and hiking trails nearby. The weather was cool and occasional gusts of wind. Our neighbors were friendly. The weekend we stayed was nice and quiet, people seemed to adhere to campground rules. I do have a couple of issues to address; our campsite grill was broken, therefore we were unable to have anything cooking on the firepit. Luckily, we were innovative and managed to find something nearby. Most importantly, the biggest issue were the bathrooms. There were left dirty all weekend. My brother and arrived Friday and checked out on Sunday, the only time I saw anyone take out the trash was on the Friday we arrived. Since then nobody went in to clean or to even pick up. Overall, it was a nice weekend of camping, I recommend this campsite!

I visited here in September. This is a great location to enjoy many trekking trails with giant sequoias. The uphills can be a bit tough because of the high altitude and thin air. The campsite is clean and cozy. Most of the river was dry, but some parts were still flowing, in September. There were bees and flies during the day, so a pop-up canopy with a mesh sidewall would be useful. I also saw a bear walking around. There was a day during our stay when the toilets ran out of water and the campground restrooms were closed from dusk till dawn. (You can use the restrooms outside the campground.)

We were at site #83. It’s close to the creek and was very peaceful. Dedicated parking spot which is very close to the campsite ( so you don’t have to lug your gear around all that much). This was our first time camping and there were no hiccups. There were enough people on the campgrounds to feel safe but the sites were spaced out as well such that it didn’t feel crowded.

Great campsite in Sequoia in terms of distance to all of the trails abs sights. Campsites are way too close together and tightly packed together. We were stuck between two large families with very little area or privacy to ourselves. Have heard some of the other loops are better.
