Good location, near the entrance and good start to the day to start driving up to Sherman tree and/ or Moro rock. Trail to see the waterfalls is right inside which is very convenient. Bathrooms are well kept and everyone was respectful of the campground rules. You can see the stars and moon at night so well. Very quiet and can hear the river behind you. I personally liked the lower campground number 23.
Camped at site #22. Pretty secluded camp site next to the creek. Wasn’t too close to the other campsites. We tent camped and still had a huge amount of space. Stayed for one night mid Oct ‘24 and there were no campfires allowed which was a bummer. Wasn’t too cold either since we’re at the base of sequoia. Only ever seen a park ranger once when we were packing up to leave. Bathrooms were well maintained and had soap and toilet paper always on deck. Bear lockers were exceptionally large. Its our first time camping in bear territory and we were kind of nervous we wouldn’t be able to fit all our things. It fit our 65 qt and 48 qt cooler + 22 inch black stone with extra room to spare for all our other scented items.
This is a cool spot for families to hang. It’s low elevation so you don’t have to drive too deep into the park. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean. And there are several nearby. I didn’t see any showers, but that’s OK. You get the full experience. Other than that, they have RV hook ups and places where you can wash your dishes, including running water. and the camper close by each other, which is ideal for large groups.
What a beautiful campground!!! We had Site #16 and enjoyed our 2 night stay here very much. Had a 30 feet rv and it fit perfectly in. With much longer vehicles, it might get hard to drive the campground. Site was very unlevel. Nice private access to the river in only 2 minutes. Unfortunatly no fires were allowed.
So the location was great but our camp site was a little hard to find because we weren't given a map or any clear directions. Our spot was big which gave us some privacy but the campers coming in late while we were asleep sounded like they were coming over the hill and straight into our tent. And the bees. .. oh the bees, They drove us INSANE until dark. The people before us left trash all around the site that we had to pick up. The bathrooms were conveniently located for us and seemed to be maintained. There is a locking bear box.
Wow, the campground was great, campsites spaced out. No guard on duty. Best you have reservations first. Location to Sequoia National Park not too far but the road is challenging to get here, a lot of curves. Maybe, one of my favorite CG. Just a beautiful area.
The campground itself is pretty cool, we reserved site #20 to be next to the Marble River. What’s not so cool is getting to your “reserved” site to find campers already in place using the site. We had to ask people to leave our site just as every other camper with reservations around us had to. If paying a fee to reserve a site, I’d expect someone to be enforcing it.
Honestly this campground kinda sucks. Some sites are basically unusable as tent sites (site 7 & 8 barely have room for a 2 person tent!) and this campground won't cool down compared to others in the area due to its location. I would honestly try to go to any other site in the park.
