Sequoia RV Ranch used to be one of our favorite spots...but now with the Airbnb on the other side if the creek , it sucks. You're far more likely to have to deal with some jerks blaring crap thumping music than have a peaceful stay. We're done here. Left our campsite early to get some peace at home. Will pass on Sequoia RV Ranch in the future. P.S...we totally get its not the RV parks fault...but we're not paying these prices for a picturesque nightmare you cant tune out. This is on the level of torture and unfair to the entire RV park.

Great place to come rving or tenting, A little spendy, but what isn't these days. From 50amp hook-ups to tent spaces. We go about twice a year. Nice river views/access. Quiet and we'll kept.

The manager and his wife absolutely lovely people. They are definitely the couple you sit and chat with all night long at camp. There are beautiful humming birds that feed on the flowers along the river. The sound of the River is relaxing if the site isn't crowded. The dog park is big, be careful ground animals dig holes and you may trip or the ground will collapse beneath you amd theres frogs in the poop can. There a beautiful lone mare that will come and talk with your pups and watch you play. Locals also use this park but are pleasant. Dumpster are easy to navigate to. The hillside view is beautiful near the river. This was 1-1.5 hours from the major points in Sequoia and the drive is winding/steep. Someone else was using our site the first night we were here, we had them move their vehicles but they continued using our site and left their trash ( food, plastics, dog excrement). Make sure your ready to hook up your campers water and sewer ( the hook ups are sketchy but work) because the shower situation screams we prefer you to use your camper. Laundry is good, $1.25 for 28 minute wash and $1 for 50 minute dry ( The wall gives different times but its been the cheapest I've experienced). There are only 2 washers and 2 dryers, they are shared with the residence in the trailer park ( some of the nicest people I ever met). The swimming situation is a stream, please respect others campers and use the designated entrance. So many people just walked through our site then complained that my 100 lb Mastiff was minding his business in the space we paid for. There are so many bees and flys. There isn't gravel or grass, it's all dirt. Unavoidable dusty dirt. It will be in and on everything. Sand like dirt. I would not come here on a holiday weekend or when I know it's busy. We almost left because of how crowded it was the first night and everything seemed disorganized and dirty. However, the people who run the site were on top of any and everything they could be. It could use and upgrade and was definitely pricey.

Awesome place right outside Sequoia national Park nestled on a beautiful property on a River. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. Lots of calm places to swim even with little kids. Dog friendly but there are black bear in the area so be cautious. Extremely fair prices and it’s so beautiful. Spots are a little close together but it’s worth it for sure especially if you get a river spot.

We stayed at Sequoia RV Ranch and overall had a very positive experience. We checked in late, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The campground felt safe, with helpful staff and plenty of other campers around. Our RV hookup was seamless. We were close enough to hear the leisurely flow of the river, which made the setting peaceful. We didn’t use the showers or laundry, but note that they are coin-operated. The bathrooms were fine, though they could be a bit better maintained. Sites felt roomy, though some are tight or shaded by low branches... just something to keep in mind when parking your RV. Wi-Fi worked reasonably well throughout the campground. Bonus: Visit in April when citrus trees are blooming... the drive from the west coast is truly scenic with a memorable floral scent. Overall, a solid and convenient base for exploring Sequoia National Park... we’d stay again
