Absolutely lovely campground, great lake views. Crowded at weekends - can be hard to find a good site. Some sites sloping. Operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It can be reserved through ReserveAmerica. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wasn't a popular weekend to camp but we live close and wanted to take the family up for a quick one nighter and dump my tanks there. The site we stayed in was a pull through and quite un-even but its what i would expect from this kind of cg. I briefly met with the folks that run the cg and they were very kind apparently they are semi full time there. I was 1 of only 3 campers there that night so we had the run of the place. Good thing because the roads are quite narrow and steep. We would camp here again mainly because of how close it is to home. During this time of year the lake is quite a walk from the CG. Like the other post says in spring this CG is under water. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground, run the by the Corps of Engineers, is three miles west of Three Rivers, and depending on the time of year, is sometimes on Lake Kaweah. From about October to April, it's about half mile from the water - then the lake fills up. By June, the campground is usually underwater. Really. The best time to camp here is winter and spring. The sites are nice and range from small, for tent camping, all the way to large pull-throughs and back-ins that can accommodate big rigs. Holiday weekends are crowded with large family groups that come from Visalia, but in the middle of the week after Easter we had our loop to ourselves. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful, and allowed us to switch sites to the nearly empty loop away from the groups. The showers and toilets are cleaned daily. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Overpriced for 30 amp. Not really big rig roads in and out of this campground, lots of trees and boulders to be careful of. Was tight getting our 25 ft heavy duty truck and 35 ft trailer in and out. The pull thru sites are back to back sites. Has gravel roads and sites. The sites are close together so you have to like your neighbors. Very quiet at night. If you have a motorhome there are sites you can pull straight into and see the river through your windshield. Cable TV is excellent. Has Wi-Fi but have to go up to the office. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
First impression when pulling in wasn't good. After a couple of days here, we are leaving with a better one. Pool is clean, river is nearby. wifi is spotty. To log in and get service I had to take a chair to the end of our site and use it. I could not get wifi from inside our trailer or right outside at our site. A lot of families and kids. Downsides are two rows of sites are trailers/motorhomes are head to tail when parked. Not really roomy in that area but enough room for slides and awnings to come out, however, your view out your windows is the hook up side of one trailer on one side and the living space of the other neighbors trailer on the other side. Some sites are a single row and are roomier than the others. Quiet hours for the most part are observed and management took care of those not following them quickly. This isn't the worst place we've stayed but it isn't the best place either. All in all we had fun here and was a good place to see Sequoia and an overnight stop before heading home. Unknown if we would return as i've got mixed feelings about this place. Maybe with a specific site picked out that we saw we would. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I love this park! It is clean, well-maintained, lots of grass, beautiful trees and a small stretch of sandy beach on the river. The tent area looks like a pristine city park. The RV hookup pads are of pea gravel separated by rather narrow grass strips. They also have horseshoe pits, volleyball net and a large, sparkling clean pool. The Kaweah General Store, within easy walking distance across the highway is well-stocked with everything from fishing gear to RV and campground accessories, water, beer and soup to nuts. Most of all I recommend this park because of Shel, the terrific guy in the office. He's fun to talk with and will do anything humanly possible to be helpful. The only drawbacks I can find to this park are its lack of Wi-Fi and lack of 50 amp power. If you have a large rig with two AC's you'll want to keep that in mind. It gets hot here in the summer. Otherwise, this is a great family park for relaxation and it's right on the doorstep to Sequoia N.P. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I give it a high rating for the setting alone! It's right next to the river and the mountains are beautiful too. I pulled in on Monday and the office is closed Monday and Tuesday during winter hours. There were only 2 other spots taken so I had my choice. I saw someone in the office Tuesday, so I went ahead and paid them - they are very trusting! I love the laid back atmosphere! Several people pulled in over the next few days making it seem not quite as spacious. There is grass next to ever spot and lots of grass in the tent area. A nice sand volleyball area and a small beach too. Very family friendly! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were looking forward to being right on the river and reserved site 29, River was about 12' across. The other river front sites had a view of a wooded cyclone fence. Cable TV is excellent. With a big rig you need to be very careful in this park. Verizon doesn't work, Cingular does. Electricity was ample. Satellite service works best if you have one of the pull-thrus in the Center RV area. Grounds were well-maintained. Swimming pool was being filled during our stay. This is a really nice place for families to tent camp on the grassy area by the "big" river. Would stay here again with site preferences We camped here in a Motorhome.
Two things keep this park from getting a perfect ten. #1) NO wifi and #2) pay showers :(. Otherwise this is a beautiful park right on the river. Friendly and personable host who went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Sights #29 and #30 were right on the river and had 50 AMP. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice and clean park, close to Sequoia National Park. The sites were gravel and grass but level. We were right next to the river and we could hear it from our site for good night of relaxing sleep. We were there in May and it wasn't busy yet. We would go back again for sure. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very nice and clean park, close to Sequoia National Park. The RV sites had no firepits but if you had your own it was ok. The laundry room was clean. The sites were gravel and grass but level. Even though we weren't right next to the water we could hear it from our site at night for good sleeping. We were there in the middle of June and it wasn't busy yet. We would go back again for sure. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground. Prime RV sites are R-32,R-31 and R-30, these are right on the river. Sites are close but plenty of room for slide outs and awnings. RV sites R-1 thru R-19 are back to back camp sites. There are no fire pits in the RV section of the camp ground but there are in the tent section. All sites have tables. They have 20 tent camp sites that are right on the river. We visited this camp ground on Memorial weekend and it was full with families and there was plenty to do with swimming pool, volley ball court, horse shoe pits, tether ball polls. There is a beach for swimming and plenty of spots for fishing. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had site #24, a paved back-in with no utilities but more level than many in the CG, we had shade on the rear of the RV but didn't need it because it was cold and rainy our entire stay. Noisy on the weekend. We only have a 30 ft class A but we were the largest thing in the CG and it really is not designed or maintained for full-size motorhomes. The roads were narrow and we encountered many low hanging tree branches and encroaching bushes. This was an active bear area while we were there and several vehicles were damaged by bears looking for food. Our tow car window was broken even though we had no food, toiletries or trash in the car. Bummer for us but most likely much worse for the bear in the long run. Easy drive to the Giant Forest from this campground and we got through to the Grant Grove area one day when chains were not required. Nightly rate reflects the Interagency Senior Pass discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very nice low elevation campground thats best in the Spring and Fall. Temps get well over 100 degrees in the summer. A foothill area with wild flowers and Oak Trees everywhere. It has flush toilets and a dump station, but no other amenities. It has some great hiking trails and wildlife is abundant. Located between Three Rivers and Sequoia National Park you have a few mile drive to the grocery store if you forget anything. An easy drive up Hwy 198 East of Visalia and is my favorite cool weather campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
A lovely campground with excellent management. We did not get a river view site but the one we did get (#31) was spacious and perfect. Very quiet when we were here for a week but the river view sites did fill up over the weekend so reservations are advised. Wi-Fi worked great as did our cell phones (AT&T). We are planning on returning next spring to do some more fishing and visiting Sequoia National Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was our first visit to Sequoia RV Ranch. We had a great riverfront spot, parking parallel to the river. The water was low this time of year, but the swimming hole is nice. My husband enjoyed the adjacent fishing hole, lots of small fish to catch and release. It's a quiet park off a small canyon road. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park. The entrance is easy to miss, and it is not easy to make a u-turn in the canyon. Navigation system thinks it is 1/4 of a mile past where it really is so be careful. We had a riverfront site, but could not even see the river from our site. The river is very nice, and the swimming hole is great for a afternoon soak. Our cable did not work. Originally they had us in a very small back in site that would have been impossible to get our 39' trailer in, much less the dually and our extra vehicle, but we were able to take the next site over instead. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a great time to camp in the Sequoias. The weather was great for September. Did get into the upper 90’s in the afternoon, (air conditioner time), but the morning and evenings where spectacular with no insects to speak of. We had reservation issues when we arrived on Saturday and did not get our river front site as requested until late Monday, Labor Day. The owner and I talked, and he got things set straight and we were given a discount for the mix up. The entire park staff where friendly and helpful. They spend their days watering, cleaning and maintaining the sites. This is a very quiet park, great for relaxing. The river is low this time of year, so there is no swimming. But my wife and I enjoyed sitting in the river and staying cool in the hot afternoons. Our first site was very sparse. It was a pull through with 50 amp service, water and sewer. The site is gravel, with no lawn, fire ring, BBQ, no room for anything. It was site number 45. The second site was number 32. It was completely opposite, having everything including a wood deck overlooking the river. I think by the plants, walkways and power meter that this may have been a permanent site at one time. This made for a wonderful 5 days. The only problem was the last night when a family pulled into site 33 next to us and started using our chairs and table on the deck as if it where their own. When I asked them not to use our camp site they simple said that they had booked site 32 and that we where in their site. (Another reservation mix-up). A couple of closing notes. Neither site was completely level: you will need some wheel blocks. There is no store or propane in the park. Everything is in the town of Three Rivers about 3 miles away. We found the town to have a nice store and several good restaurants, even a bakery. Although there was a hardware store and 2 gas stations I do not remember seeing propane. Bottom line, we will be returning to Sequoia RV Ranch and explore more of the sites and shops in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
First RV camp with our new/first travel trailer. Chose Sequoia RV Ranch based on previous reviews and closeness to Sequoia National Park. Overall, a very nice trip. RV site was clean, quiet, shady, and enjoyable. We rated it an "*" as this is the only one we have been to so far, so we figured we better have some flexibility to rate our next trip/site higher or lower. Would recommend to others and we would come again. The road into Sequoia National Park is narrow very "curvy", so we're very glad we did not take the RV into the park (via the Three Rivers route). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We decided to go at the last minute and the first night we had a very poor site: but the next day we upgraded to a river-front site with full hookups, and that made all the difference. My family and I loved it here. There is a water hole that is very refreshing to take a dip. People at the office were very friendly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here last week due to the campground being in close proximity of Sequoia Park, Ash Entrance and I have to say we were quite pleasantly surprised! We pulled into our site which was surrounded by plenty of grass and gravel, had trellis dividers between sites which were covered in vine (not all sites have the dividers though), and although the campground appeared full when we arrived, it was extremely quiet! The campground has a great private swimming hole location on the flowing river and the grounds were kept very clean. We spoke with the camp hosts for a while and learned that the current owners just purchased the property a couple of years ago and have spent much time and money cleaning it up and making improvements. Of note though: There are still some areas (electric/water only sites) which reflects the "work in progress." Nevertheless, they go to great lengths to maintain the place and keep it clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and gave me the impression that they would attempt to fulfill any requests, however, we didn't have any to ask of them. It was one of the nicest campgrounds, blows away the other RV park in the area and what made it unique is that it seemed as though each site had it's own special amenity which might be different from the one next to it! For example, some sites have the vine covered trellis, some have it's own path to the river, some have large grass areas around them, some have patios and one even has a deck! The only downside that I could find is that they do not have laundry facilities, and although they do have Wi-Fi connection -- it is only accessible at or just outside the office (which they do, however, provide comfortable seating both inside and out for this). The upside though -- the kids spent much less time on the computer and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings! We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campground entrance is hard to find. If you miss it you are in serious trouble. The entrance and grounds are lovely and the campsite is next to a beautiful river with a nice swimming hole. We arrived at 1:00 pm and there was only a board with our name on it and we had to find the site ourselves. We paid for a premium pull through site which was driving through their grass. We backed in instead and the turn was extremely tight. Other people had problems too backing in. For Wifi you had to go to the office. There was a mobile home park next to it. Next to us some people slept on a blow up mattress which we found a little disturbing. Guess they shared a campsite with somebody. There were a bunch of longtimers around us and some campers looked a little beat up. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This would be a great campground IF the electric service was any good (sometimes the voltage dropped as low as 98 volts); IF the Wi-Fi worked somewhere other than 50 ft from the office; IF the sites were not so difficult to get into. We used Camp Club USA for reduced rate and knew that sewer was not included but did not realize how difficult it was to maneuver to the dump station. The new owner said that he is working to improve the facilities, and it may be nice to visit in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our site on the river was excellent - private and beautiful and shaded for our 4 day stay. Staff extremely helpful in solving a serious lock-out problem (they fixed it). The effort by owners and staff to make and keep this place beautiful is obvious. Showers were old and adequate, Wi-Fi at/near office was excellent; nice swimming hole in the river. Would definitely camp there again and expect that owners will continue to modernize. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This out of the way location is good if you are visiting Sequoia National Park or a nearby lake -- although it needs some work. The rate reflects the Camp Club USA discount. I stayed in one of the discount sites (water and electric only) and it was a shaded pull-through site. However, as has been a problem in many other parks, I could not get completely level due to the front being too much lower than the back. When I went into the bathroom, I noticed that the showers and toilets only had curtains to provide privacy. As a result, I decided not to use them and use the one in my rig even though I did not have a sewage dump. While I am sure the area is safe, I did not feel comfortable using facilities that I couldn't lock the door behind me. This is definitely something the owners should work on and make a priority. When I arrived, there was someone mowing and weed-eating the lawn. So it appears to me that the owners are trying to create an inviting atmosphere. The people in the office were very friendly and inviting. There is a good internet connection (unsecured, however -- another area where I think they should make an improvement). Be aware that your GPS device will take you well past the entrance. And it is not easy to turn around in this area -- especially if you have a tow. There are two signs right before the entrance, so once you are on the right road, keep an eye out for it on the east side (right side, if coming from the main road through Three Rivers). Given the discount, I would probably stay here again when traveling in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The second prettiest campground we have stayed at, second only to the Coulter Bay RV park in the Tetons. Mostly shaded spots, with huge, flowering Oleander bushes, trees and even a palm tree in our site. Concrete patios in the sites, level sites, paved roads. Lots of grass for the dogs. No pet area, just pick up after it. Some back in and pull-through sites right on the river. I would give this place a ten rating, but you have to go to the office for wi-fi access and it has limited hours open. Wi-fi is free, no password required. No cell phone access either. The restrooms were porta-potties. So I would settle for a 9.5 rating. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We just returned from Sequoia RV Ranch and had a great time. This is an up and coming campground. The host was very helpful and as it turned out, we got to meet the owner whose name I forget, must be a senior moment. We had a site next to the river which was spacious and well maintained. I understand that the new owner has been there for about 2 years and is doing a wonderful job in restoring the complete campground. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a relaxing easy-to-get-to place to stay. Although the fishing was pretty bad due to the low water level, we look forward to returning soon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites at the river front are perfect. Very, very nice setting. The swimming hole in the river was highly appreciated by our kids. The restrooms and showers need some cleaning. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed in the Sycamore Lane section with water/electric, a large group of us with two RVs and 3 or so tents. I would not recommend sites 6-10 as they are not pull through and very small, with no shade. They are new spots that they made from empty space and have only saplings planted at this time. Spaces 1-5 looked like a better bet and we wished we had gotten those. The other spaces with the full hookups looked quite nice. Probably one of the biggest attractions is the swimming hole, a deep area in the river that flows through the property with a large open grass 'beach'. It's a great place for kids to play and blow off steam. The bath house is located in the permanent resident section, and the permanent mobile homes all looked very nice and well kept up. There was a sign on the bathhouse saying it was to be renovated this year or the next. For now they are just basic concrete stalls with old curtains as someone has mentioned. There is one bench outside the stall to stage your stuff. As others have said this looks like a park that is continually improving. We would stay here again, though probably in one of the river front sites instead. Check the map on their website for more info. The area is very nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We enjoyed this camp ground and found the management excellent. You have to turn off the main road at north fork and there is only a small rv road sign pointing the way. Some pull through sites and some back in along the river. The management has many plans for enlarging and improving this camp ground so look for it to get even better. We arrived the day before Memorial day weekend without a reservation. They went out of their way to accommodate us even allowing us leave our rig in a non campsite location for the day so we could visit Sequoia before moving on. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very quiet shaded park right on the river. The previous rating said this park was mostly long term but that is not correct. There is an area of mobile homes but the main campground is regular campers. In fact, this campground has a 14 day limit. Lots of tress so manoeuvrings can be difficult if you are a really big rig. I was able to get around fine with a 38 foot fifth wheel. There is a swimming hole at the river. There is currently only wifi at the office but they say it will soon be all over the park. The camp hosts are very friendly, very helpful and hard working. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is mostly a park for long-term visitors, and part of it is dedicated to mobile homes. It's attractive with lots of trees and a swimming hole, tucked into the foothills. Our site didn't have a picnic table but others did. The bathhouse was older, with low shower heads and water that was hard to adjust, only two showers and two sinks for the whole place. There was no electrical outlet in the bathhouse but there were several tree frogs. They weren't terrible but I've used better. The park is very quiet and a few miles outside of town. We were able to get wi-fi at our site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were warned when we made our reservation that all sites with cable/sewer were occupied, but we could occupy a site with electric and water. We were not warned that the site was very small. Backing in was very tight for a 36' motorhome. The rest of the park was very pretty, however, and free wi-fi was available outside of the office. The staff was very nice. The reason for the low rating was that the restrooms were dirty and non-functioning. Sign on the stall door said to throw ALL papers in the wastebasket next to the toilet. By the morning we left, the toilets weren't flushing. There were also cobwebs in the bathhouse. New facilities were promised in the spring, but when we stayed in April, work hadn't been started. Landscaping was beautiful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place, very quiet and away. The owner was very nice; they are dog friendly. The sound of the river flowing is very relaxing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a beautiful campsite. It has everything one would need for camping. The campsites had not only a cement slab but also nice rock was laid out which really made a difference on the amount of sand/dirt we dragged into the motorhome. The park has river-side sites which were very spacious. Every spot has a picnic table and a fire pit. We will definitely be returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Second stay at this campground this year. More of the long term residents have left so there are a few more campsites open. A few of the sites are tight but can be accessed with a little help from the neighbors. Campground owners are on site and are friendly, approachable and have a positive, helpful attitude. The campground is very clean and well maintained. Cable is not yet to all the sites but you can see progress. A few (10) sites are water and electric only and are easy to get into. Wi-Fi is still only available at the office with chairs and tables provided for its use. There is a "swimming hole" in the river on the property. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful little park right on a little river. Nice wide sites with fire pits. Saw deer and great blue herons all 3 days we where there. The people that run the place are so friendly. We wish we'd had more time to stay longer. Good location to get into Sequoia National Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is relatively new and they are working hard to improve it. The people are very friendly and helpful but the office could be open more hours. The Wi-Fi was not working in the campground but was good in the office area. We had a very large site just off the river but it was all stones and dirt no grass. They have grass in other areas of the park just none on this end. Lots of shade which is good and the swimming hole is very nice. Our cable signal was weak, they thought it was our hook up but it worked well at previous and the next parks we were at. They are trying hard but have work yet to do. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground has recently changed ownership (and its name). It is obvious that a number of improvements have been made. First the positives: This park is only a few miles from the south entrance to Sequoia National Park. The RV park is in a wooded area with lots of shade, and is adjacent to the Kaweah River. There is no pool, but there is a nice swimming hole in the river which our kids preferred to a swimming pool hands-down. Now the negatives: There is no bath house, no laundry, and no WiFi. Supposedly there was WiFi at the office, but I was not able to confirm this because the office hours are only 9am-5pm. These are not adequate office hours to support a campground. There aren't that many options this close to the park, so you probably wouldn't be able to do any better, but I would still only give this park a rating of 4/10 because they're just not quite there yet. I hope that they will continue to make improvements. This park could easily be a 8 or a 9/10. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
With the exception of a great river view, this park fails to measure up to the description of it on it’s website. We reserved a super sized, 50 amp, river front site and ended up with a very tight, back-in, 30 amp site on the river. At the time we checked in, we were told some of the site descriptions on the website are not accurate. We were told the park is under new ownership and that the new owners are doing their best to upgrade infrastructure and evict homesteaders from the RV Park. The park’s cable TV system has been strung from tree to tree in a jerry rigged fashion and reception inside the rig is very poor. Sites are dirt, very tight and require leveling. Staff is friendly and park is close to Sequoia National Park. WiFi hot spot is at office and not available at your site. Bath house is located some distance from RV portion of the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
What a great place. Read some of the early reviews and was a little apprehensive but what a great find. This park is clean, quiet and easy to get around in. The road to the park, (Hwy. 198 and North Fork Drive) are easy to navigate. The owner is on site. He and the staff are friendly, helpful and pleasant to deal with. The sites are mostly level with gravel parking and a concrete pad with new picnic tables. Plenty of shade in most all sites. The waterfront sites are no more than 30' from the edge of the river with nothing to impede access. Pet friendly. Our new favorite place to go in the spring and fall. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was previously called Trailer Isle, as in the review above. It now has no resemblance to the former parks owner. The new owner bought this park almost one year ago, and moved people out! He has done "tons" of work. The campground has paved roads, shaded gravel campsites, and some concrete patios. 30 and 50 amp is available. There are 22 sites with full hook ups, 8 of which are right on the river. 10 more sites are available with water and electric only. We had looked at many RV parks in the area one year ago, and found only one that we would have felt comfortable in staying. Unfortunately that RV park only allowed small dogs. Sequoia RV Ranch is another choice now for visitors to Sequoia National Park, or just wanting to get away. The owner aptly calls it a "Ranch" not a resort. The park has a pool, but it is in a quiet spot in the river, with it's own beach. The owners make you feel right at home, stopping by to see if everything is OK, a nice touch. The sites along the river have a wonderful view. In the spring, the sound of the river can be heard from most of the park . There is a path along the river from which fishing is allowed, except around the swimming hole. Sequoia National Park's entrance station is a short 10 minute drive, and the big Sequoia trees are less than one hour away, 28 miles. This is now a great park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our 1st campground and even though we had reserved a site our reservation was not written down, however, the staff member was very helpful and even gave us a bigger site with full hook up. The sites are very close together and some were a lot nicer than others. A good location for getting into Sequoia National Park. We only stayed the one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
An OK campground for small RV's and tents. Very difficult for big rigs and fifth wheels. While the campground is on the river, only a couple of tent sights have river views. Great location close to the park entrance and not far from the small town of Three Rivers. Friendly camp manager who is in the process of upgrading. Would recommend for smaller RV's but not for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.
"Hole in the wall" was the first impression. Wrong. The rest rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly. The best part was the "beach" on the river. Our dog had a great time (as did we) with the river access. It was quiet and close as could be to Sequoia NP. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Best RV park for the area. Tight sites with everyone close together; separate area for tent camping. New gravel in RV sites, semi-level, with hookups at rear of site. Free Wifi, cable TV included in higher price. Plenty of shade from trees, which helped during the 90+ degree temperatures. Restrooms were old but clean. Friendly owners. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a very nice park. The owner is working very hard to improve and expand the park. He is working to add sites closer to the river. He was not in the office when I called, so I had to leave a message. He called me back that afternoon. He was very nice and very helpful. Be sure to tell him if you have a very long rig; there are not many sites that can handle the really long, bus conversion RVs. There is a very good cafe across the road from the park. I can't remember its name, but it's very good. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Closest RV park to Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks. Very small park with fairly level, gravel sites. No heat or A/C in bath house; somewhat clean, but old and worn out. Best to stock up on food and gas in Visalia or Exeter, as prices in Three Rivers are high. No Verizon cell or aircard service unless you drive down 15 miles to Lemon Cove. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is close to the South entrance to Sequoia Nat Pk. The new owner (2 yrs) is cleaning up the facility and attempting to modernize it. A river rafting business is also operated from the park. Sites are basically level but not paved. There are several long term residents in the park. Owner and staff are friendly and cooperative. There's a great little bakery/restaurant across the highway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice, quiet park only 4 miles from Sequoia National Park entrance. Enthusiastic, friendly new owners are in midst of big upgrade process following major cleanup effort from previous owners' neglect. Plans are in the works for free wi-fi and 50 amp service in 2006 - then it will be a "10" for sure! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Don't believe the website. We stayed for two nights, most sites available for overnighters mingled with permanent residents. Staff very friendly, no amenities. Large trees make it tricky for big rigs. This campground is under going a change to full time so call before you go. It is nearest site to southern entrance to Sequoia Nat'l Park. We camped here in a camper.
