Conveniently located, descent distribution of sites, and an excellent campground host. We were there in September so there were no flies to deal with from the nearby stream. The nearby lake trail was as a great hike with beautiful vistas.

Everything was local to the national park, and the campsite itself was very well maintained. There's a nearby market with any necessities like food/water/firewood if you run out of supplies

Excellent experience. Though far from the main road, it was secluded and wooded. No issues with neighbors or host. Had everything that anyone could want, except water. Easy parking for two or three cars, though definitely pay extra for them. Closer to the main road are many dispersed camping spots with fire rings.

Super quiet and lots of great sites

Clean well run place. Absolutely ZERO firewood so you'll have to bring your own.

Quiet, remote, clean, beautiful stars at night. Be ready there is no water source, no shower, nearby store is 25 mins drive.

Site 23 was beautiful! Not too buggy, a bit of noise from the log trucks. The camp host (Serena) was delightful! The bathroom were spotless and actually had decent TP. Only suggestion, install hand sanitizer, since no water is provided. Thank you!

The road in with a 30 foot trailer was challenging, however once there , he sites were awesome!

Little creek runs through the middle, it was quiet for the most part. No service and theres a cute trail less than 2 mins away to weaver lake. Arrived on a Saturday so someone was having a little party. The bathrooms are pit but were clean. No trash service so you must pack everything out.

Really enjoyed my stay at big meadows, very central to everything. If you want to go to kings canyon or sequoia, youre right in the middle. 1 min drive from the trailhead of weaver & Jennie lake. The drive into the park is much easier & leaving is even easier from big meadows. Host was very friendly. Campsites easily fit up to 6 ppl comfortably. Sites are spaced out nicely. Well shaded sites for comfortable camping. I would definitely consider staying at big meadows my next visit!

Precies wat we nodig hadden, prachtig midden in de natuur! We werden erg vriendelijk ontvangen en konden haardhout kopen voor 10 dollar. Groet Kuno

Awesome site. Quiet and the bathrooms were clean.
@MalloryM84EC65 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #29
We loved our stay here! The location is amazing, very close to general grant. I would say be careful of mosquitoes at this one being next to the creek they get kinda bad so be prepared! Some camp sites are better than others as far as being on a slant, or being close to the road. It was our first time here but id definitely be back! Serena our camp host was amazing! Always has wood and answered all our questions
@BrentH7083729 · Camped on Jul 17, 2025 at Campsite #10B
Well run facility with some of the cleanest pit toilets I've seen anywhere. Great jumping off point for many kinds of adventures. In our case, a week-long backpacking trip to Colby Lake and back.
@LotteBCE833D7E · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #3A
Amazing! In the middle of nature. Most wonderful spot we had all our vacation.

Beautiful weather, sites, and relaxing

We had a great experience at Big Meadow Campground. It was clean and very peaceful. We stayed at site #29, which was by a small creek. The camp host was so friendly, and firewood was available for purchase. We plan to revisit this campground!

Beautiful area but had things stolen from bear box

Great campground.

Big Meadow is a wonderful camping option to disconnect, enjoy the natural beauty of the Sequoia's without the glam camping crowds.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
