Worst campsite
Do yourself a favor and avoid campsite 008; this tent site is right next to the vault restrooms that have not been cleaned in ages…oodles of flies coming out of them and the odor carries into the tent site!! Also people have zero respect for quite hours; people were super loud and it was extremely upsetting and annoying!
Very secluded
This is a very beautiful campground small but very secluded with a river running through it just above the Springville in the Sequoia National forest
Deep forest but did not meet expectations.
This camping ground is high up in the mountain about a 30 minute drive up and around. We drove in with a small pop up camper that fit fine but once we arrived we were very disappointed. The camping grounds are all on top of each other with very little privacy. Also there is so much fine dirt all around the concrete pad that is loose and will dirty everything you put out. Another down side is that we stayed close to the bathrooms and there was a strong foul oder and bad flies the whole time. There are zero amenities except for the toilet in the outhouse and toilet paper. We would not go back again, although we still made the most out of it. I definitely do not recommend this camp ground. Up the hill continuing on the highway and following the signs for “gas” you will find camp Nelson and that area was beautiful. If we ever came back I would be more interested in staying in that cute forest town.
