I loved the campsite. Clean, the bathrooms are pretty decent. Very peaceful. I recommend a semi high clearance vehicle to get to the campground unless you wanna drive really slow and not damage your car. Definitely a semi long drive to get to the campground. As long as youre prepared it wont matter. Beautiful views along the way. There was a decent amount of wasps hanging around so beware! If you love trees and peace this is it. Someone did steal my campfire wood while I slept and used my fire pit. First time it has happened. I left early because of it. But I would come back. Absolutely no service at the campground and along the road to get there so fill up!!

Camp ground is beautiful. Site 20 is great. Your neighbors are 30yrds away in both directions. The road to get their is long and terrible but they are working on making it less terrible (still just as long). Never had so many rangers stop by to check in and make sure everything was ok. Mary rules with an iron thumb but is a peach. I'd go back again. I'd just make someone else drive that road in their own car.

Honestly if you are going to sequoia national park to explore and sight see the park I would not recommend this campsite. The road to get to it is extremely dangerous and should not be a 2 way road, and the campsite is extremely far away from the sight seeing of the park you actually have to leave the park and reenter taking 2 hours just to see the trees. My boyfriend and I ended up not staying here bc of this, we decided to just abandon this campsite and find one closer to everything. If you are looking to be secluded and dont care to sight see maybe this campsite is for you but like I said the road is extremely dangerous.

Well maintained campsites. Wish music was a bit lower

The campground was very peaceful and pretty secluded and quiet. The hike to falls and meadow were beautiful and not at all hard. Facilities were clean and the campgrounds too were very clean. Space between campers was welcome as your neighbors were not as close as in some campgrounds. The only exception to the experience was the drive up to the camp site. In the dull light either morning or late evening it can be a little nerve wracking on the winding road.

Its a beautiful place. The drive up can be rough and not for everyone. Definitely not staying as long as we did next time (a whole week) We had to make a short 15 minute drive to silver city to shower and buy ice and water. To wash dishes we had to wash in a container and dump the water in the toilets per the park rangers. The drive to Sequioa is about an hour and 45 mins but took us over 3 hours because it was a Friday. The drive to the hikes to the lakes are about half an hour from camp. Overall very grateful for the experience.

When you make an online reservation, no maps are provided and Apple Maps stated that Im 11 hours away. Horrible experience and customer service. Took 5 hours to arrive there and then the road was closed on the way back. Ruined the plans.
@SarahH2673287 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #4
Quiet, clean, and beautiful. We were in site 4 and there was room to park our minivan and pitch our four person tent, and room for the kids to play left over. Close to gorgeous trails into Sequoia groves.

Quiet campground in a grove of tall trees. Beautiful and close to some of the best hiking in the park.

campground was very clean, the location was serene, but make sure you are prepared for skeeters in the summer and the lengthy drive up to the site
@TravisK1913617 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #5
It was a thrilling ride up the side of the mountain to get to this site, but camping under the trees was wonderful. Be sure to save your reservation information because there's no phone service of any kind.

Big drive to get there. Construction has the road closed from 10am to 4pm, so plan accordingly. Also give your self a lot of time since the road is narrow and windy. The camp sites look like they are mostly intended for tents since they are not very level. But we had two vans and one truck and we made due. But being up there was really great. We did a 6 mile (round trip) hike in the morning, and then drove up to the end of the road. Checked out the Silver City store. All in all worth it.

I was in campsite 21. There was plenty of shade in the site. At the time I was there in (last week of May) it was nice weather the whole time (around a high of 75 degrees). There was only one other person in the campground so it was always quiet. Bathrooms were clean and the trash cans were empty. I guess that comes with being one of only two sites being used. The areas around Mineral King were awesome to visit. Lots of wildlife in the area if you just take the time to look. I would Definity stay there again.
@Christoph646F5 · Camped on Oct 4, 2024 at Campsite #11
I stayed 2 nights in site 11. No issues with the campsite. It was easy to get into. Good shade after 2pmish. This spot is set into the hill a bit so if you need a big flat area this isnt the one.

Spacious campsites in an incredibly beautiful and majestic grove
@HelenaK364DC90 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #2
It is a nice campground, where it is lovely to camp. The road is a bit close though, so not that quiet, but plenty of space and nice people camping there. Toilets were okay and we had a nice time in the nature.
@williamT449040 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #17
Generally nicely laid out camp sites with good access to water and toilets. tent areas tend to be large but often slope. Easy access to hike to sequoia groves.

The campground is located in a beautiful spot. The sites are big enough. But there is a major problem: there no shower in the campground. You have to drive 1 hour to find one. Its a problem for a several days stay.
@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Aug 16, 2024 at Campsite #20
Never showed up to the campsite due to the road to get there. If you plan to camp near Sequoia stay somewhere else. The road is a single lane pothole hell with a speed limit of 10 miles per hour that spans 20 miles. Without traffic thats an hour and a half of driving each way. There are sketchy temporary bridges that make you wonder if you are cheating death for a bit of nature. Even if the campsite was the most peaceful place on earth, you better be prepared to just go there otherwise youre spending a lot of time just to get in and out. I venture to guess most people that reserve a spot here never actually show up once they see the road.

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.
