We spent a couple nights here in June and it was a great experience! The campground is really well maintained and the bathrooms are like new. Definitely bring some bug spray and sunscreen. The trees provide great shade in the morning and evening but not so much in the middle of the day when the sun is directly above. There is a small creek that crosses the road leading up to the campground, we took a walk down to it and had sandwiches next to it. I think there are a few hiking trails nearby, make sure to download your maps before arriving as there is no cell signal once you’re there.

Stayed here in July 2025 and had a wonderful time! The campsite is absolutely beautiful! We were a bit skeptical if we would actually be in the Sequoia forest, as the drive in was a very different terrain. But rest assured, you will be surrounded by Sequoia trees and feel like you are truly in the forest. We saw deer, a bobcat, a snake, and lots of different birds. The camp host mentioned that a pair of bears walk by often, but we didn’t see them this time. Site is wonderfully maintained by the friendly camp host, and there is a nice little creek about a mile down the road to cool off. Brand new and clean vault toilets, and drinking water from a spigot. Bring your own solar shower and dishwashing supplies though if you want those comforts. Also, campsites are a tad close together, but all of our neighbors were respectful of space and quiet hours. Would definitely come back!

One of the best campsites to visit during the Spring time. You get to see the beauty of the snow fall on the trees and park, it was truly magical. Check my YouTube out @keychainproduction for a full video review. We stayed at campsite #10 which in my opinion was one of the bigger campsites in the campground. There's enough space for 3 tents. Each campsite has its own fire ring, bear box, and picnic table with bench. Must reserve at recreation.gov. It's about an hr away from Trail of the 100 Giants and nearby trails include Nelson Trailhead and Bear Creek trailhead; Bear Creek trailhead is within walking distance.

Stayed at site 10 over Memorial Day weekend 2024. Site 10 is the best site (in my opinion) It's a big site- has space for at least three tents but the parking for the site is only big enough for one car. The bear box is positioned tilted forward, so be careful when opening it (your things will slide forward). The site itself was clean and maintained well. There was a bit of grasses grown in, in some spots, but I am Knit picky bc I didn't want many dog to have any issues with foxtails. TONS of firewood around this site! Bring your bug spray and citronella for the mosquitoes. Close enough to the other sites that you don't feel completely secluded, but also far enough away that you can do your own thing. Site 10 is positioned smack in between two bathrooms (son you can have your pick!) and close enough the the water at site 8. We will absolutely be making site 10 a regular camping spot!!
