Great place for camping or day trip! Group camping site has…read morewater clogging issue and park ranger didn't fix that in our 2 night stay.

This was our first time here. We were invitd by friends and met them here because they arrived…read morereally early to get a spot. As we drove in we notice the parking lot was really crouded and full. We circled around a second time and lucky for us we found a parking spot not to far. Traveling with kiddos the first stop was the restrooms. We found an open one and it was ok considering we were at a park and a lot of people use them. Luckaly I have my complementary Yelp bag which I filled with bathroom items I might need, like, toilet paper, Clorox wipes, gloves, taper towels, baby wipes, and hand sanitizer. Yes, I come prepared, lol. They did a good job getting a great spot at a table next to a grill and another spot near the water. They had a canopy and chairs set up right on the water which was great idea. We lounged in the chairs while the kiddos played in the water. It was a nice spot where the water was very shallow and the current was very calm. A perfect place for younger kids to play in the water safely. Spent most of the day at this spot conversating with other parents and watching the kids enjoy the water, rocks, and play. It was a great day well spent with family and friends. I read some of th other review, however, I felt safe spending the day here with my family. I noticed the camping parking spaces with families that seamed to be having a good time.

It was…read moreour first visit to the area, and we wanted a guide to help us experience the parks in the most fun and educational way, so we could get the most out of our time. Pani was incredibly communicative and was flexible with us when we decided to split our visit across two days instead of just one. Pani was easy to talk with, knowledgeable about the parks, and passionate about the history and ecology. We learned so much on our adventure, and Pani was always willing to take pics for us everywhere we went. Thank you Pani for making our vacation so special and memorable!

We all learned so much about the history and geology of this vast Park. Having a knowledgeable tour guide really eliminates any stress of searching for features you want to see! Our party of 10 agreed we had the best park trip ever with Pani guiding us through the exceptional features of Sequoia national park. We are spoiled now and highly recommend mountain trekking adventures for anyone going to the Sequoia national Park or Kings Canyon national parks.

If you're visiting Sequoia, book the Big Trees Telescope Tour with Scott. It was one of the…read morehighlights of our trip. Scott is a former park ranger, and his knowledge is incredible. He shared fascinating stories and facts about the park (including black bears!), and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He's kind, patient, and made the whole experience feel personal and special. The telescope tour was amazing -- seeing the planets under Sequoia's dark skies was unforgettable. He explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. His company may be new, but it won't stay a hidden gem for long. Highly recommend.

Both experiences far exceeded what I thought we were going to experience! On the hike, Scott was so knowledgeable about the park, its history, the trees, and the unique facts + areas that most don't know about. We also booked a photography session with him that was the PERFECT way to capture our time there! We'll be framing a few of the shots for our home. We also had the astronomy tour at night, where Scott walked us through the different constellations in the sky and the varying origin stories for them - from Greek, to Roman, to Viking. It was so mind-blowing to really stare at the stars and learn their stories. Thank you, Scott, for such a great first experience out in Sequoia National Park!! We can't wait to come back.
