I booked site 121 which is fairly large lot that comes with basics of bear box, picnic table, and parking lot. It also had additional or extra bear box if needed. This spot was right next to the bathroom, so that could be a good or bad thing. Plenty of trees for shade. The ranger who work there, was quite friendly and helpful! Tips + there is a small little area with water, near the entrance which is great for little kids. Plenty of trees and shade to hangout. + payphone located by the entrance. (No reception at all!) + maps and information on activities located at the front entrance. Overall, great camping experience!

I'd give this place a 4.5 stars if I could. They lost half a star because the bathrooms were…read moredisgusting. It appeared they cleaned it maybe once a day. But it was stocked with toilet paper. Other than that the campgrounds was great. I love the fact the market is reasonably priced. They have a Cafe, showers, cleaner restrooms, and a laundry facility. The campsite was beautiful. Not too many bugs. Everywhere you looked it was beautiful. There's lots of campsites nearby but not too close. Our campsite was 202, right behind the large rock and pretty close to the river. It was nice hearing the rush of water throughout the day. The bathroom was close enough except for during the the night. Knowing that bears are in the area made it really scary going in the middle of the night. Wear a headlamp, it's much better than a flashlight. The shuttle will come inside the campgrounds and pick you up near the restrooms in the main parking lot. There are a few trails for hiking (which we didn't have time to do). I do recommend if traveling with another family to work out the food situation because there's only one bear box per site. One large cooler can fir or two smaller ones. One large and one small cooler will not fit in the box. ALL food, snack, even perfume, & body spry should be put into the bear box.

Really beautiful area to camp at. Right next to the Three rivers. There is plenty to do every day:…read morehiking, fishing, dipping in the many pools. We've been here multiple times and this time the water was very much filled with algae in the upper areas near the waterfall and cleaner as you went through towards the bridge. Make sure to test the rocks before you step on them or you might slip! Each campground spot has a fire pit (with a very annoying and disgusting swiveling grill on top), and a bear box. I would say the amount of space you get per spot is pretty spacious compared to some other campgrounds. There are potable faucets throughout the campground and bathrooms nearby. The bathroom isn't very clean and only four stalls so there is a wait sometimes but the faucets are motion sensored which is very convenient. There are a lot of interesting bugs at this camp site. And a lot of chipmunks. If they find any scraps they'll be coming back often. We had to scare them off to stop them from coming and digging into our bags. There is a ranger truck patrolling the area at all hours and will stop by your camp site to find things you're doing wrong. We got a warning for leaving out unscented (free and clear) hand soap. And the ranger picked up our trash bag with a few blow out diapers and shoved it on top of our baby food inside the bear box. If you look at the bear box label it tells you to put your kids car seats in there but you are provided a box that will not fit them and all your other stuff. Cross your Ts and dot your Is.

Clean: Each site had a picnic bench, bear box, and fire pit. Our site was clean and ready to use. The outhouses were cleaned regularly which was awesome and much appreciated. The road to get around the campground is tighter but definitely doable. Quiet: The sites are fairly close to each other without much privacy but that is to be expected given the landscape. With that said, people were extremely respectful so you really didn't feel like you were in a campground. Location: this is the major win of this site. It was close to Lone Pine if you want to explore the town, close to the Alabama Hills and movie road, and at higher elevation and on the road to Mt Whitney. Gorgeous views of the mountains. Shade was hit or miss - some sites had trees others didn't so be prepared with a shade structure if needed. Overall awesome experience- would camp here again!

There are 43 campsites (28 sites reservable), my friend and I was able to walk-on and have our pick at available campsites for roughly between $20-$30/night, tent camping. There are some campsites with adequate shade (not all) and located along the Lone Pine Creek -YES! running fresh, cool water! I totally forgot to make note of what sites are best, but my friend and I pitched our tent at #37 -which gave us a BEAUTIFUL view of Mt Whitney. Two cars are able to park per campsite and some sites have water faucets. Decent restrooms -smells a bit, but always stocked with the super thin toilet paper. Camp host is a super nice guy -friendly. Helped another friend of mine park/position her camper. I stayed here in the beginning of August 2020 and was already warm weather at 8AM, hot around lunch time till sunset. Pretty decent sized bear cannister/box for your use at each campsite for no additional cost.

This describes Sequoia High Sierra Camp in every way, although "comfortable bed" doesn't come close to what you'll find as fall asleep your first night in the mountains. Perched at 8,200 feet within Sequoia National Monument is Sequoia High Sierra Camp, an upscale experience that redefines "roughing it." Unparalleled vistas and luxury camping are available to those willing to hike a mile from the Marvin Pass trail head. At campsite, prepare to be pampered as hosts greet you with Southern-style sweet tea and warm oatmeal cookies. From the twin or king-sized beds with pillow-top mattresses dressed in triple-sheeted linens, down comforter and Pendleton wool blanket, to the gourmet fare, you'll wonder why someone didn't envision this type of camping sooner. Three meals a day include fresh fruits, homemade muffins, and all the breakfast basics; sack lunches for you to hit the trail; and mouth-watering dinners such as classically-prepared Caesar salad, muscovy duck breast, and homemade strawberry shortcake. In your 14' X 24' tent you can cozy up to the warm glow of a propane lantern as you sip a glass of wine and read a book in wrought-iron chairs with over-stuffed cushions. Comforts include a basket of plush towels and toiletries, bottled water, daily maid service, and bathroom building with flush toilets and hot showers. Maps and directions to all the best recreation are readily available. A warm fire, a glass of wine, and brilliant sunsets...this is camping! OMG why didn't they invent this sooner? Sequoia High Sierra Camp is open seasonally.

We just returned from, what was suppose to be a 3 night stay at Sequoia High Sierra Camp. We were…read moreso disappointed that we cut out a night early, with no refund. Yes, the food that was prepared each night for dinner was above average, and the 4 beer offerings and a dozen wines were nice and priced reasonably. But that is the only compliments I can pay this "luxury" camp. The dirty road in was an absolute nightmare and set he tone for the trip. The owners/proprietors were borderline rude and yes a bit grouchy. The bathrooms were far from what I expected from a "glamorous" camping experience. The breakfast offerings were fair, but I expected more from a place that's selling themselves as "luxury", how about some waffles, french toast, omelets...... The pack your own brown bag lunches were a huge disappointment! And I couldn't believe there weren't snacks (granola bars, fruit, power drinks, sodas, pretzels, etc.) offered around the clock. The hiking was also a bit of a let down too. And the hike offered with return transportation from Cedar Grove at $75 per person was ridiculous! Over all for what this place costs, we were very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend Sequoia High Sierra Camp to my worst enemy. Save yourself from a huge disappointment and go somewhere, anywhere else! As for the night we walked out on.... we headed into Fresno, stayed in the Riverpark area and had a great time!

We stayed over the weekend and it was absolutely freezing!!! Driving up, you could already see the mountains covered in snow and I knew right away we were in trouble! It got down to 21 degrees! I had double gloves, double layers, double everything and I still couldn't feel my fingers!!! Lol. I was so glad I brought my snow cleats because they helped a lot since the trails were covered in snow! For safety reasons, we decided to only hike up to Lake 2. The usual beautiful turquoise blue lakes were nowhere to be found and instead replaced with a half frozen lake. It was still a cool sight to see and I'm grateful I got to experience it at least once in my life because I swear, I will never stay here again in April! No way! Hahhaha. I definitely would not recommend camping here that time of year unless you have an RV or are really prepared for winter conditions. We were a big group which made the experience a lot more fun. I love this campground and there's a reason it's so hard to book. It's truly beautiful up there. If you're lucky enough to snag a reservation, definitely check it out.

You can't beat this campground for its proximity to the Big Pines Creek trail head. If there's one…read morebit of practical hiking advice I can offer, it's to camp here for at least two days before hitting the trail if you live at a low elevation. I was not acclimated and it made my hike unexpectedly grueling. It's an absolutely beautiful hike, and I wish I was less focused on simply breathing! The entirety of the campground is surprisingly fancy as campgrounds go. Lots of manicured public spaces. But the store always seemed closed which probably had something to do with the government shutdown happening at the time. Directional signage within the campground (to specific site numbers and to the trailhead) is pretty awful and I wasted a decent amount of time trying to find my site. I got up pretty early to hit the trail (just as the sun rose), and had to use AllTrails to point me to the trailhead. In early Oct, it can get pretty cold up there so setting up camp at 4:30pm wasn't ideal. Try to get there earlier bc it cools down really fast. My specific site (26) was really private and very nice. It looked just like the pictures on Recreation dot gov. It sits beside a bubbling little stream, yet mosquitoes were never an issue. It was also the most level and tidiest tent pad I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping on. There was a major drop-off between the car pull-in and the campsite, so I had to be extra vigilant about not breaking my neck during the frequent back and forth loading and unloading.
