The forest was in very bad shape due to fire and drought. The stream water had been invaded by bacteria and was a tea brown color.

Pretty site, narrow one-lane road to get to site. Beautiful river runs nearby.

Stayed in #19 for a night with my boyfriend. We used our roof top tent on top of his truck and it worked perfectly! Bathrooms were very clean and hiking trails to the river were close by. The rangers were also very nice too! The site wasn’t packed, which made the stay even better. (p.s. it’s a pretty narrow road to get to the site, and there’s no reception) Would definitely come again!!!

Buckeye Flat #4 was a Beautiful site. Well situated and enough privacy to be able to completely unwind. Though no campfires it was still a wonderful experience and the Park Rangers, Staff and everyone I interacted with were Welcoming and overall just AWESOME. This was a kick the bucket list dream of mine and SEKI, Buckeye Flat made it PERFECT
Thank You,

Temperatures were not too bad, considering the heatwave, but there were a lot of yellowjackets that made it very difficult to cook and eat any food, and with the fire ban, there was no way to repel them. Definitely something to be aware of if you (like me) are allergic to wasps. Other than that, there is a nice calm part of the river close by that is clean, cold, and refreshing, and the restroom and sink facilities are nice.
@JonathanW14164 · Camped on Aug 27, 2022 at Campsite #3
I find it very disturbing that so many sites remain empty but are booked on the website. A entire revamp of the reservation process is needed asap.

THE BEST CAMPGROUND EVER

a gem of a campground because it's so small with beautiful oak trees everywhere!
@Margarita88267 · Camped on Aug 12, 2022 at Campsite #27
This a great spot. Restrooms are clean.

The campground was great just wish I was aware of the fire hazard situation so I couldve better prepared myself
@WillL49BA4CA2A · Camped on Aug 2, 2022 at Campsite #4
This is a very beautiful small intimate site but unfortunately I had a bad experience. That was a large group of friends which occupied three neighboring sites which happen to be right opposite the site I had booked. This group of friends although in their mid-30s to mid 40s with children, didnt have any respect for any other campers. At about 8 PM on one night they brought out a large ghetto blaster and started playing loud music which every single site would have heard. Discontinued well beyond quiet time which I believe was posted everywhere is 10 PM. They are also playing loud games beyond 10 PM. They didnt seem to be any camp host on site or anyone reinforcing this role. Also, I did walk around the site at about 8 PM myself just to see what the rest of the sites were like, and I noticed that for other sites had their fire pits burning even though it was clearly posted everywhere that they were no wood-burning fires or charcoal fires allowed due to fire risk. My advice to you ever manages this site is to check in more often and ensure that the campers are adhering to the rules ensuring safety for everyone in the park and all the other campers can enjoy their stay. Apart from this its a beautiful well run clean site from what I could see. I would definitely come back again and hope that I have a better experience

We arrived at site 20 (the handicap accessible site) during the day, and it was well over 95 the campground itself is beautiful, however, site 20 is unprotected, with no shade and no cover. We decided to abandon ship, and head up to Lodgepole and take our changes on a walk-in
@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #5
We love camping here at Sequoia! The weather was perfect! Plan for the rain though because it was raining for 3 days while we were here. But we loved it! Also, there was a bear roaming our site for 2 nights, so please make sure to put all food and scented items in your bear box. Do not leave any food in your car or out! One camper left a whole cooler in their truck bed and the bear was able to get to it and damage their car. So please be mindful and do not allow any bears to get a hold of your food or they will keep coming back. Other that we had a great day at the River and nights at our site!

Beautiful campground in a cool lower elevation part of the park.
@BRIANC8885365 · Camped on Jul 24, 2022 at Campsite #7
Clean sites, nice trails to the river, restroom facilities were clean. Park staff toured the area each day and took the time to talk to the campers. Wonderful time, be back next year.
@SergioD3719907 · Camped on Jul 18, 2022 at Campsite #2
It was amazing!
@DavidM1864120 · Camped on Jul 6, 2022 at Campsite #24
There was a lot of very high dead weeds through out camp ground. Kids were not able to play since around camp due to weeds getting stuck on clothes. Also many broken limbs on trees that can easily be removed.
@RudyV7AA56F738 · Camped on Jul 2, 2022 at Campsite #13
Reserved site next to river! Was such a pleasant experience and next to restrooms
@SamVF46183B48C · Camped on Jun 30, 2022 at Campsite #8
Great little campsite, a little rustic but great location and the river was beautiful. Hope to camp here again :)
@ErikaR779780A4 · Camped on Jun 25, 2022 at Campsite #8
I wish I could upload photos but I cant. Anyway the camping site spot #8 is very cute and lots of space. Although if have small toddlers it may be overwhelming because its next to a small elevated ditch. Do not quote me because I do not know what to call it. Sorry. But its the best I can describe it. Picnic table good. Fire pit good. Although we could not use firewood only propane. We understand though. Bear box good. Flushing restroom very clean. The camping site is a very small walking distance from a river. Oh almost forgot the entrance road to get there drive very cautiously. Expect to have cars driving opposite direction from you. The road is really cozy. Thank God is not that far from the camping site. Overall it was fun!! Thank you!!

Spacious site with river flowing below. Beware of snakes as they nest around rocks.
@EmiY5B7885F485 · Camped on Jun 20, 2022 at Campsite #6
It was a great experience staying at this campsite. Plenty of room for 2 tents. (I stayed at #6) There is a river near the campsite. It was very relaxing. No cellphone reception. Make sure to bring something for mosquitoes!The park has so many things to see. Ask at visiter center for research before hand. Oh! Make sure to get there with full tank of gas. The park is very big!
@BellaDAFA4DC69 · Camped on Jun 16, 2022 at Campsite #14
Great site! We were close to the trail down to the river.
@CarolineN6620E · Camped on Jun 8, 2022 at Campsite #22
Quiet site, plenty of room, need to book ahead.
@DaileyM46CBE34 · Camped on May 17, 2022 at Campsite #4

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.
