Full Time RVer with big rig. Do your research, all the sites are very unique. IMO the best big rig sites were 30 amp so we had to run one AC in 100F heat. There was enough shade to make it manageable. Did not use laundry or bathouse. The swimming hole was glorious and the clientele was good. Be aware that if you don't like hearing other people have loud fun or their music, you may struggle here. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't serene.

Staff during check-in was very friendly and welcoming. The proximity to the river at Sequoia RV Ranch is awesome, taking a cool dip after a long hot day in the parks was incredibly refreshing. The WiFi was weak, but honestly, after being off-grid for the previous five days, it was still nice to have. That said, we didn’t fully get to enjoy the river tranquility because temperatures were in the 90s, so we had our A/C running until around 9PM. On both mornings, the property across the river started yard work around 7AM, which made it difficult to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere we were hoping for. Our campsite also had some old trash left behind, and several fire pits appeared broken or poorly maintained. A bit more cleaning and maintenance would go a long way, because the location itself really is beautiful and has a lot of potential.

Would definitely stay here again. We had reservations at Horse Creek, but the COE closed the campground due to high water levels and left us scrambling for reservations. Sequoia Ranch fit the bill since we wanted to be close to the south entrance of Sequoia National Park. The staff is excellent - fast, friendly check in and helpful with questions. We opted for site T6, a no hookup site since we have solar and wanted full sun and clear sky for Starlink so we can work. The swimming hole in the river is quite nice, we took our chairs and books down each afternoon and sat in the water to cool off. The approach road, North Fork Drive, is good for an early morning walk or run. We saw deer several times, and a few places have horses. Noise is minimal overall, there were only a few other campers that came and went in the dry camping areas who had generators, and they were all a good distance away. And if you need a few groceries, Village Market in Three Rivers is about seven minutes away - prices what you'd expect, surprising selection of beer and wine, and all the other staples you need. Save room for the BBQ!

Water, sewer and electric work fine. Good WiFi. Bathhouse in the middle of a slightly run down permanent trailer park which was okay. Place is a bit different than photos. Worked for a site close to Sequoia I would look for something different in the future or try to stay in the park if your equipment allows

Just got back from a 6 night stay. We were in sites 13 & 18. Our family really appreciated everything this place had to offer. Very nice staff. Clean campsites. The swimming hole was too cold for us but it looked like it would be a blast in warmer weather. Very quiet park and everyone followed quiet hours. Close to sequoia and kings canyon so we loved using this as our home base, and spent a couple days just enjoying everything the camp had to offer. A much needed refill for the soul, among the trees and next to the river. We also used the honey wagon a couple of times and really appreciated the service. Just all around a great experience. Thank you to everyone who helped provide a great home away from home while our family got to spend time together.
