Sequoia National Forest Belknap Campground

Each campsite had its own uniqueness. There are plenty of trees and plenty of shade on all the sites. There are a handful of giant sequoia’s in the middle of the campground. We had site 15, and although the picture of the site looks small there is a trail to, an upper spot for putting the tent, which makes the campsite secluded and beautiful! There is a creek that runs along the grounds, and there is plenty of hiking all around. We thoroughly enjoyed this campground, and highly recommended.

Beautiful 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

This is the worst campground ever. Never go here. If I could never go here every year, I would not go here every year. Because of this I should stop going here every year.

Spent a very enjoyable 3 days at Belknap. Our site was between a creek and the river so we listened to water the whole time. So relaxing! Nice trails to explore. Husband caught a nice trout. There’s a decent swimming hole. Vault toilets. A few water spigots scattered throughout the campground. Camp host Dan keeps everything clean and is really nice too. My only negative is that there are no bear boxes. There was a bear in the campground our last night there. So put your food away at night.

Not hard to get to, i highly recommend to go during the weekday for solitude & enjoy the wilderness, weekends gets crowded with family young kids. Super clean restrooms. Dog friendly.

Tents only and reservations needed; this is a popular camping destination. At 4200’ elevation expect cool evenings and cold mornings. Daytime temperatures are very pleasant but can get warm late in the season. Roads are paved with pit toilets and community water spigots. The campground has the middle fork of the Tule river with easy access along the river and there is fishing. This is a good family CG!
