I brought my 32’ travel trailer up to this campground and let me say, it was not a drive for the faint of heart. I would likely not bring that large of a trailer up to this campground again… ideally, your trailer will not be much longer than 25’ for this campground. It isn’t impossible, but the road up is steep and narrow with little room for error. Most of the campsites are VERY unleveled so bring lots of leveling blocks if traveling with a camper/RV. The saving grace was that we camped at the beginning of December, so the road up was not busy and neither was the campground. Getting a trailer up there in summer or even spring or fall would be a difficult task I’m sure. We stayed in campsite #17 which unfortunately was on a steep downhill slope - I wasn’t quite able to get my trailer leveled all the way. If I were to bring a trailer up again I would choose somewhere around sites 36-40 as those appeared to be much more level. The dump station seemed to be too tight for me to pull into, so I didn’t risk it and dumped at home. Campground bathrooms were clean, campground was clean and peaceful and was overall a great stay.

Beautiful campsite and great location with flush toilets, faucets, hand soap, and bear boxes to store food and scented products in. There’s no service but otherwise great and affordable spot near the entrance to the Sequoia National Park. It’s in the foothills which is also nice as it stays warmer than higher up in the mountain. Don’t be fooled however as it’s about 10-20° F warmer at this campsite than it is at the top of the park. Also beware lots of squirrels, birds, and acorns falling all the time. We went in November. Barely any snow but I heard it can get snowier and less crowded in February

This is a great campsite for family or solo travelers. Flush toilets, sinks inside and outside the bathroom, and they're well lit at night. Certain sites are more open then others, we were in 35 and was able to put a pop-up camper right under the tree. Quiet neighbors and maintained area. Seemed pretty close to all the spots you want to visit in Sequoia, not sure about Kings Canyon since we didn't stay long enough for that. We would stay here again.

The Campsite is easy to find at the beginning of the park, when looking at the forecast look at Three Rivers not the National Park. The tent pads are rocky and definitely not level. The worst part though was the hornets, NOT BEES! Everytime we took any food out we were swarmed. They do bite to get you away so they can steal food. My kids were literally in tears hiding in the tent till dark for any kind of food.

Perfect location and a short walk to the river. Clean flush toilet. A short drive to Sequoia trees and Moro Rock. Some sites are not level and lots of shrub. But there are beautiful sites we saw and will book next time. Yes, coming back. The children enjoyed this campground.

Camped here a few nights during 4th July week and like other reviewers said, this campground is at least 10-15c hotter than at higher elevation at lodgepole. We had a trailer at site 23 and an RV at site 22 close to the entrance. Site 22 is nice and shady but it barely fits our 24 ft camper. Site 23 gets a lot of sun, with shades closer to the trees. No firewood or charcoal allowed while we were there. These sites are close to the dumpster and we heard the garbage truck bright and early at 7am one day. The bathrooms were ok clean. There is an RV dump station across the road but someone cut off the hose connector, fortunately there is a faucet near the bathroom to fill water. Rangers came by every day and people were respectful. I would come to this site again but in the spring or fall in cooler weather. We left the day after July 4th and beware the line to get into the park from hwy 189 was miles long.

Wow, the campground was great, campsites spaced out. No guard on duty. Best you have reservations first. Location to Sequoia National Park not too far but the road is challenging to get here, a lot of curves. Maybe, one of my favorite CG. Just a beautiful area.

Nice quiet campground in Sequoia National Park. Spaces are good size , must choose site well as some are in incline.

Good location, near the entrance and good start to the day to start driving up to Sherman tree and/ or Moro rock. Trail to see the waterfalls is right inside which is very convenient. Bathrooms are well kept and everyone was respectful of the campground rules. You can see the stars and moon at night so well. Very quiet and can hear the river behind you. I personally liked the lower campground number 23.

Camped at site #22. Pretty secluded camp site next to the creek. Wasn’t too close to the other campsites. We tent camped and still had a huge amount of space. Stayed for one night mid Oct ‘24 and there were no campfires allowed which was a bummer. Wasn’t too cold either since we’re at the base of sequoia. Only ever seen a park ranger once when we were packing up to leave. Bathrooms were well maintained and had soap and toilet paper always on deck. Bear lockers were exceptionally large. Its our first time camping in bear territory and we were kind of nervous we wouldn’t be able to fit all our things. It fit our 65 qt and 48 qt cooler + 22 inch black stone with extra room to spare for all our other scented items.

This is a cool spot for families to hang. It’s low elevation so you don’t have to drive too deep into the park. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean. And there are several nearby. I didn’t see any showers, but that’s OK. You get the full experience. Other than that, they have RV hook ups and places where you can wash your dishes, including running water. and the camper close by each other, which is ideal for large groups.

What a beautiful campground!!! We had Site #16 and enjoyed our 2 night stay here very much. Had a 30 feet rv and it fit perfectly in. With much longer vehicles, it might get hard to drive the campground. Site was very unlevel. Nice private access to the river in only 2 minutes. Unfortunatly no fires were allowed.

It was so fun and very enjoyable. We saw deer and many many squirrels. The only bad thing was that the before we left it started raining at night so it was very cold! I would definitely come back again.

The campground is conveniently located in the foothills of the Sierras and Sequoia National Park. The campground itself is not spectacular but it offers great amenities that other campgrounds lack: potable water for drinking, water for dirty dishes, and flushing toilets.

I LOVED this campsite! So relaxing with plenty of space and deer will come right up to it. There was a wild turkey roaming around too
