This campsite is excellent, especially if you are looking for a dog-friendly experience. There is a camp store and gift shop that is open every day which sells snacks/drinks/firewood and whatever you forgot. The people who work at the grounds are amazing. Bring in your own water, but otherwise you are close enough to California Hotsprings so you are not without staples. I booked a yurt site which also allows two extra tents on site and sleeps up to five people on its own, so it's a great group site for a bargain. The yurt locks and is clean, dry, and well-insulated. The yurt site was practically a quarter acre, and the ground seems to be less visited than others in Sequoai giving plenty of peace and quiet. Camp fires and parking one vehicle at your site are permitted (more than one car is possible for a fee). Each site has picnic tables and fire rings, there is even a babbling brook that wraps behind each plot. I strongly recommend staying here and going to the Trail of 100 Giants across the road, Nobe Young Falls trail (amazing!), Nobe Young and Alder Creeks, Alder Slabs, and Dome Rock. These sites are all hiking distance and/or within a 15 minute drive. The Needles mountain formations are within a 45 minute drive. All of these trails are dog-friendly and within Sequoia National Forest. Thanks to everyone who keeps this site operating and beautiful!

Site 9 NOT level, most sites weren't. Toilets were good.

Great little camp ground. Perfect for families, people new to camping, or experienced campers who want an easy glamping trip with nearby beauty. We got site 10 and 12 and they were right next to eachother and had a great location. The whole campground is very small and sweet with a little gift shop. We took our friends and our 7month old baby here for her first camping trip. It was perfect to just have an easy weekend in the woods.

Nice small campground across from the 100 trees trail. Campsite has nice shade parts of the day and a flat spot for a tent. It is close to site 9. Site 7 is the best if you don't mind lugging you stuff a little ways (most private). Nice little camp/trail shop that does not have a lot of food or ice. It has drinks, maps, souvenirs, fire wood but no big food items. Bakersfield is your next big city to buy supplies on the west side. 30 minutes to Kern river. I will defiantly be back. Cons: be ready for bugs in September. There is a new rest room but I preferred the old pit toilet because it had fewer bugs and oder.

arrived 45 minutes early ,space was empty was told by attended that I could not park: a tree could fall on me and then they would be liable. Came back 1 hour later, parked in camp spot: no burned trees around us that could fall. Before we got out of our vehicle, two big dogs from the camp spot next to us came at us barking and growling (they were unleashed). next to that side were a car with 4 big motor cycles which had passed us earlier roaring down the road. We decided this was not a camp site we wanted to spend the night in and left. Also, the bathrooms were disgusting: stinking to high heaven!
@AaronW5705274 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #5
Cleanest vault toilets I've ever experienced!
@CathyG8730712 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #7
Sites are great, campsite is very clean and Darren, the host is wonderful. We'll be back.
@AkiraTE1A74A85 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #7
A host was off duty on Monday and Tuesday. When we arrived on Tuesday night, most of the site did not have a flat parking spot. All toilets are smelly except in newer toilets. The staff told us that there is no fresh water in the campground due to the pipe damage during the past winter.
@DonnaP3046858 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #9
Camp host was very sweet and welcoming! Answered any questions we had. The camp site was SUPER great and clean. We had absolutely no issues at all and I would definitely go back!
@JacobR3117523 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #3
The campground is well maintained. The yurt was very clean, restrooms and not like some other places Ive been. The camp host was welcoming and made me and my family feel at home. He truly was the best host I have ever encountered. I would recommend this place to anyone who is on the fence about reserving or those who havent been.
@SarahT3094084 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #9
Darren and Michelle are great at monitoring and watching the sites. The entire campground was clean and well kept. The trail was so close. I was happy to have this experience and will be back.
@ANDREWL5237889 · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #9
Stayed at the end of May with great weather and expected bugs. Lots of tall trees surround the campsites providing some shade. There is no water except for the well stocked onsite store. Darren was friendly, helpful, and provided clear instructions so everyone can enjoy the area. The campground is well maintained though when we arrived the dumpster was rather full and hard to open and at least one of the bathrooms was closed. The tentsites are a mixed bag due to uneven grading, space available, and parking.Having the Trail of 100 Giants near by is very nice and after doing that, the campground serves as a great base for exploring the surrounding areas. Watering holes and fishing can be found in a 20m drive.

Camp host is awesome, site is in perfect location. Highly recommend.
@BrittneyWDDAC3 · Camped on Sep 18, 2024 at Campsite #11
First I would like to note that there was no where on site 11 to put a tent, MAYBE a small single person tent? But the picture is very misleading. When we arrived there was no host on duty, no cellular coverage to contact anyone, and our site hadnt even been marked as reserved. We hung out for a while to see if anyone showed up, hiked/walked the neat trail across the way and ended up having to take the loss on the campsite and keep on driving on our road trip-which was exhausting because you are slap in the middle of nowhere and with no cellular coverage (from T-Mobile) to find any other place to stay. Once I did receive service it would let me cancel the reservation. It was a bust and also the most expensive campsite we booked our entire trip. Campsite 11 should really only be a day use or single person site and the pictures need to be updated.

NOTE: This review is for Site 7. We originally booked site 11 which is very beautiful and secluded but there was no place flat for our tent except the parking spot. The helpful and friendly host, Darren, told us that spot 7 was available as someone had cancelled last minute, so we move there and it was ideal in every way! The babbling brook, the spacious and secluded area, were charming. The campground is ideally situated for the Trail of 100 Giants which is a lovely walk and dog friendly!
@JustinA6640701 · Camped on Sep 11, 2024 at Campsite #11
Very peaceful and pretty campground. Within walking distance to the trail of 100 giants, short but beautiful hike on paved ground. Camp host Darol and his wife were exceptional and kind/inviting. Only the absence of available water taps was an issue. Other than that 10/10
@howards5966886 · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #12
The location, the camp host and everything about this trip was great. Pretty close to perfect. Thanks for such a great experience.
@MariaC2763258 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #11
Our favorite campsite so far.
@GemmaPD61AF215 · Camped on Aug 9, 2024 at Campsite #7
Loved staying at redwood meadow! The view of the stars was great. Campsite was large and clean. The camp host was friendly and provided recommendations for nearby hikes. I would definitely come back.
@DevinS6AE2E8D9 · Camped on Aug 3, 2024 at Campsite #2
The sequoia at this site has been cut down, so that was a bit of a disappointment. But its still a great site, and the campground location is amazing. The yurt was spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately someone kept propping the pit toilet door open so tons of flys got in. But overall a great experience and I will probably be back.
@ScottD5141264 · Camped on Jul 3, 2024 at Campsite #8
Lovely campsite with super friendly helpful hosts. Short walk to see the giant Sequoias. These trees look like they belong in prehistoric times.
@GarryS1945574 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #11
Easy walking access to the Trail of 100 Giants made this a wonderful stay.
@MarcTDB0D92D66 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #6
Stayed for only 2 of 3 planned nights. Yurts were as expected, basic but the squeaky bed frames kept people awake.Facilities were very poor. Only water available was to buy bottles (water supply has not been functional for 2 years and seemingly no interest in fixing it). Toilets were filthy, fully of flies and I doubt ever cleaned. No toilet paper either.Never saw the camp host for the entire time and the shop is open until 3pm only, so when we missed that the first evening, we had to wait until 10am the following morning to get water.The trail of 100 giants was lovely and saved this rating, but I would not ever return due to the poor camp site conditions.
@ThomasP9156982 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #8
Our campsite #8 was beautiful for tent camping but also would be large enough to park a small RV. We love the Trail of 100 Giants, just across the road. We met the campground host, Darren, Sunday evening upon arrival, who seemed very nice, but he was gone Mon and Tue for his two days off. Mercedes in the gift/supply shop was very nice and helpful with a couple of purchases. On the negative side, the pit toilets stunk and were full of flies, with no evidence of cleaning while we were there. When we left, toilet paper was nearly gone. Unfortunately, we would not camp there again due to the repulsive outhouses.
@briannaw62C926 · Camped on Jun 15, 2024 at Campsite #7
This Spot was Beautiful!!! There is a small hill from your car to your spot but nothing too steep. You can fall asleep to the sound of the creek behind the spot and there is a small meadow on the other side of it as well. All of the facilities were very clean. Darrin was a sweetheart and was very helpful.

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!!!
