Secluded Campsite

My fiancé and I stumbled on the campsite because Sequoia NP is temporarily closed due to the fires.

The pictures shown don’t portray the site. There aren’t Sequoias at the actual site.

This campsite is accessible from South Fork Rd, which you do not have to enter the park to get into but the site is actually considered to be part of Sequoia NP.

We decided not to stay at the site but definitely have plans to in the future. It’s right by the river but not accessible from the campsite. This site is also super secluded but does have fire rings and Bear lockers.

There were also signs that said it was an active Bear area but not too sure how active the bears are there. There were also tons of mosquitoes, since it is right by the river. We also actually crossed paths with two tarantulas, one on the way to the site and one on the way out (different parts of the road).

Something to note is that the road to the campsite starts off paved then turns into a dirt road. The road is narrow and once you get closer to the site the road gets rocky and bumpy. I would highly recommend a car with 4WD and some clearance. I would also advise that if you’re not experienced with off roading, this road isn’t for you. I thankfully had my Jeep and fiancé who is seasoned in off roading.

I hope this review was helpful!
