GuideGreat, clean place only 6 miles from Sequoia National Park entrance. This place has sites where you can back up to the river, is clean, has nice dog park area, nice fire pits & courteous staff.
ScoutMy family and I stayed at Lemon Cove Village over the weekend and had the most amazing time! The camp ground was clean and well kept. They had a really nice dog park. Management was super helpful. We can't wait to go back again soon!
ScoutNice drive thru RV’s sites. Friendly Staff and good staff especially Jennifer. Very nice dog park, not a lot grass but good running area for dogs.
Location less than 30minutes from the National Forest entrance. We got up early on the road @645 am to the park was back by 11am. Only went as far General Sherman.
Only negative point was pool was closed for cleaning. Just bad timing
TravelerBeautiful drive up campground with a really friendly camp host. Vault toilets, but the cleanest vault toilets I’ve used in CA. River runs through the camp and there’s a little swimming hole. Camp Nelson trail is a short walk away and the river runs next to most of the trail so there’s always a water source. Lots of bear/mountain lion activity but each campsite has a bear locker
ScoutThis 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.
TravelerIt’s my 4th trip at this campsite, and what brings me back is the seclusion and the amazing night sky. Also, it’s easier to get a spot here last minute, since it’s not as popular. The rangers said that recently, bears have been coming to this area since the recent fires forced them to move. We saw one black bear club that was about 5’6” climbing a tree. It wasn’t aggressive but it was looking for food around my group as we were packing up.
Pros:
-2 vault toilets.
-Large space.
-Less popular. Easier to book.
-Walking distance to Trail of 100 Giants.
-There is a store at Camp Nelson.
-No cell service. Download your maps before coming here.
Cons:
-NO food lockers!! Lock your food in your car, but don’t have the coolers visible because the bears can still see.
-Only 3 picnic benches.
-Swarms of flies all over the site! They are vicious. They will try to bite you and eat your food!
-Also there’s cow poop all over the site (dry and fresh).
GuideNice quiet campground pet friendly and clean good fishing around the area
GuideMy only complaint is other people are very rude. Untrained pets, music from other sites... the sites are far apart, but there is no vegitation to buffer the sounds of other people.
RangerRv camped in winter. Not all loops open but there weren’t a lot of people there so it was ok. Lots of long rv spaces. Nearby exploring is plentiful
Remember pets on leashes on trails.
