Dave is the best camp host ever! He kept the place clean and welcoming. Host aside, the campground is just beautiful, we loved it.

Beautiful campground set among towering sequoias. Short walk to a nice grove of them. Camp Host was spot on. He took the time to maintain the sites between guests; Even took the time to rake them (not that that is expected, but it adds a nice touch of care). Pit toilets were as clean as a pit toilet can be, still a pit toilet though, Host keeps them well maintained. Host had firewood, until he ran out. The general store can run out of firewood too, so, if you see the stock is low, get it while you can or prepare for a chilly night. Out of the other campgrounds in the relative area, I like this one best for the size, the location, the creek, and the sequoias.

Inside a lovely wooded area with a creek running through it. Had no issues with bugs. Plenty of potable water. Felt pretty secluded from other campers due to how the spots are laid out. Only way to improve this campsite is to have flush toilets, but the vault toilets were v clean. Camp host Dan was fantastic - helped point us to some good hikes, sold us some firewood, told us some stories - super interesting guy - thanks Dan!

Was a beautiful location and with the river going through the campgrounds, is a great place to go exploring with kids.Bathrooms were mostly clean and stocked and host was very polite. Sites 11, 12 &13 have seemed to be our favorite area if booking for a group.

We camped at Belkim on site B14 and had such a great time. The spot was super close to the river, which made it both relaxing and convenient. The site itself was clean, spacious, and felt private while still being easy to get around. Falling asleep to the sound of the river was the best part. Definitely one of our favorite camping trips and well be back for sure!

The Belknap Campground in Sequoia NP was beautiful with plenty of space, and a flowing creek running next to our site. Toilets were always clean, and there is potable water. We had a great experience camping next to Giant Sequoia trees.

Belknap is a beautiful campground with giant sequoias throughout. Our site was clean and raked nicely when we arrived. We were greeted by a very friendly camp host whome we could tell took great pride in the work he was doing. The bathrooms were clean and the on site water was tasty. There's even a beautiful swimming hole nearby. Overall, I'd definitely stay here again.

Our family at a wonderful experience at site 11. Facility was well kept, the camp ground was beautiful, and Dan the camp ranger was helpful. The running water next to the camping site made was the highlight of the trip.

Such a lovely campground, we stayed in stop 004 which at the time was secluded and separated from the other campers which was lovely, it was also pretty flat and even. The river was so great, lovely to read next to and Im sure nice to take a dip in. Toilets were as clean as can be expected, just a lot of flies but I get why. It was well enough situated for us for our 2 night stay, we may have struggled to figure out what to do close by if we had stayed longer though. Overall, such a lovely campground, and I would stay again.

very nice site. Camp host was very helpful! Best parts: the creek was beautiful. Very clean camp site and helpful camp host!Worst parts: stinky bathrooms and while the camp host was away on his weekend the trash cans were very full.

I loved my time at Belknap. I dont remember my spot, but there was no one next to me during my time and it was on the other side of the creek so I was by myself, which was amazing for me personally. I remember setting up my tent and chilling in there till it got dark. I really was speechless when I got out and saw how beautiful the sky was and all the stars. I really wasnt expecting that. I also wasnt expecting how dark it gets so bring flashlights. The only reason Im giving 4 stars is because the toilets were so nasty and I only used them to go #1 so prepare for how you want to go #2 I ended up driving to the bar close by because it was a little too much for me.Besides that, the camp host was great, it was quaint, and there are really nice trails to walk along the creek. I also got in the water even though it was freezing and it was so refreshing. It was a nice middle ground for me solo camping for the first time as Im from Los Angeles and was a little anxious about going up to kings national by myself. Ill definitely be doing kings soon though. Overall great trip and I would do it again

This is such an amazing spot. Quiet, and tranquil, tucked away past a little town. Theirs is a little creek that runs through. Unfortunately I didnt fully check the location prior to our trip, so we only stayed one night as we were heading into sequoia during the days. We could have driven back each day but it would have been about a 2 hour drive each way and I didnt want to waste that much time just getting to our tent. We will be back though, the whole family wants to explore the area more
Good
@Rigoberto6FAA8 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #11
This place its good for people that really want to relax. Our campsite was very spacious and very close to the river. Other campsites are very close to each other this its more private. It was our first camping experience and we loved Belknap I will definitely go back with my kids next time.

Absolutely stunning campsite - nestled among Sequoia and pine trees, with a beautiful crystal clear creek down below. The camp host was friendly too and keeps the place in great shape. Highly recommend!
@CythiaHE5002D7 · Camped on Aug 15, 2025 at Campsite #13
This is hands down my favorite campsite. The location is unmatched. Sleeping under giant sequoias, right next to the creek/swimming hole (which makes for the best running water white noise at night), and secluded enough from the road that youre not hearing everything. On top of that, this is genuinely one of the cleanest campsites Ive ever been to - and thats including the toilet. Seriously, one of the cleanest. The camp host is so nice, Ive been to this campsite multiple years in a row and hes always so welcoming and is so knowledgeable about the area.

When I was looking for a campsite in Sequoia National Park, you took me almost 2 hours south of the National Park. I lost that money.

Campsite and campground was well maintained and clean. Camp host was very helpful pointing out different hiking trails around the campground. There is a general store about a mile away from the campground.

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.
