Sequoia National Forest Upper Peppermint Dispersed Area

Pretty easy to find. You can see off the main road. Any vehicle can make it. Be mindful on 3 day weekends we encountered a very large party and did not have a pleasant experience. All other times I have came, it was very quiet and relaxing.

We have always been avid tent campers. Fall of 2019 we decided to purchase a trailer. Don't get me wrong. We love every amenity it brings but we have been missing something. I decided even with this whole Covid 19 pandemic I would take the family on a quick outing. Away from everyone. To unplug. We decided no trailer. Let's go explore. That is what we did. We finally came upon Upper Peppermint Dispersed camping and said this was it. Very spacious campsite next to the stream. Only one family when we arrived Friday mid day. When we left Sunday morning there might have been 2 more sites being used. If you want to go off grid but be close to a few cool spots this is the place. Dome Rock is minutes away. Trail of a hundred Giants is about 30 minutes south. Only reason I put 4 stars is because the fire regulations at these times. Sheriff told us fires aren't really allowed. There were also signs posted. That's what we planned to cook on so we took our chances.
