This is a lovely campsite. Each space is large and private, surrounded by trees and with its own campfire area. It is all that could be hoped for in a National Parks campsite. The websites that we found said there was no shuttle bus to the main area of the sequoia trees: Lodgepole. This is not true. There is a very comfortable shuttle that runs every half hour and is free. In our opinion this makes Dorst Creek more attractive than the considerably more popular Lodgepole in that it is a more beautiful site and with the shuttle equally accessible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our first time at Dorst Creek. It's a great campground with a lot of space between sites. The sites are no-kidding, the size they say, so don't reserve a 20' site thinking you'll fit a 20' trailer and your truck. We didn't see them, but there were bears in the campground both nights we stayed here. We also saw a lot of deer. It was relaxing and a cool escape from the Valley heat and we would definitely return. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

I had stayed at Lodgepole before, and somehow never heard of Dorst Creek. Several months before Labor day we decided to try a go to Sequoia. Lodgepole was booked, but Dorst had plenty of room. I reserved site 15. Backed up to Dorst Creek and a meadow. Probably 50' between sites on each side of us and they were parallel pull-throughs. This was SO much better then Lodgepole which seems like you are on top of each other! Down side is there is no showers, however there is a dump station and water spigots. With the blue tote and water cans, in an RV it was no problem! Beautiful campground and probably the best site there! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a campground within the Sequoia National Park. As is typical for National Parks, there are no hookups available. But it is worth it to dry camp here because it is absolutely beautiful! The rangers were very nice and helpful. Make sure you include the total length of your combined vehicles (eg. both trailer and tow vehicle) before reserving a site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was an amazing campsite. We pre-booked the first night and then spoke the the ranger at 9 am the following morning for a site for that night. We were given another site but still at Lodgepole Campground. This area is beautiful as you are amongst the trees and we had deer come right up to our RV when sat out in the evening. Here we stayed at No 22 and No 175. No 22 was closer to amenities but No 175 was close to the Tokopah Falls and this is where we had the deer near us. I would recommend this campground to anyone!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

In the middle of the park. Very quiet. Beautiful natural surrounding. Shuttle available to Sherman Tree, which is a few miles up south. For big rigs not accessible from the south due to steep and narrow winding road (#198), but only accessible for rigs bigger than 24 feet from the #120. When heading for Bakersfield, go back north and then drive to Bakersfield. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, the views and activities just about out weigh the negatives. We were all in awe of the giant sequoias. Nice visitors centers and stores, a little higher price, but they are in a National Park. There is a gas station at Stoney Point about 13 miles away. If you have a RV or trailer that is 30 feet or longer it will be difficult to manage the campground itself. There are curbs throughout the Lodgepole campground itself. It is easy to see people have had trouble based on how torn up the curbs are. Once we got backed in everything was fine, I was a little bothered by all the campfires, the smoke just lingers in the campground if there is no breeze. To me this is more of a pop-up trailer or tent campground, but it is the only site I could get in the park and I reserved over 3 months in advance. One last little thing, since there are no hook ups I would like to see the shower facilities open earlier than 8:00 a.m. There was such a back up to get into the showers the wait was up to 8 people. Then the showers closed at 8:00 p.m. And to make it better when I went into the restrooms at the visitors centers, men were using the sinks in the bathrooms to bathe, it was pretty disgusting. I just smelled like campfire for a day or two. But again the magnificence of this park out weighs the bathroom problems. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is not necessarily motorhome friendly, as there are no hookups and the parking space is just that; the picnic table, fire ring and food storage "bear box" were about 20' behind the RV down a little slope. Don't expect cell phone service. Campground road is narrow, our 28' old-style Airstream Argosy and the numerous rental Class Cs could handle it, but bigger rigs beware (also, do not make the mistake of going into the end of the campground where the tent campers are, as that road is very tight). That said, it's a picturesque place to camp, and the amenities (showers, store, visitor's center, fantastic new park shuttle to the tourist highlights) are all within five minute walk. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What can I say, Sequoia is my favorite place on earth! Our site was about 75 feet from the river with partial shade. The site was rocky away from the parking area. We didn't see any bears but did hear one being chased from the other end of the campground. There is a restaurant and store a short walk from our site. We didn't eat at the restaurant so I can't comment on the food. Even in the middle of summer it wasn't that crowded. I will be back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

What can I say? The trees were wonderful and the scenery is the best. I would take this campground over any private parking lot, even though it had no hookups. You can see most of the sights including Giant Forest and the General Sherman Tree. RV and bus parking is available at these sights. The kids loved all of it, and the drive up. Make sure, if you are in a vehicle or trailer longer than 22 feet, that you use the Hwy 180 route. That is the North Entrance of the combined Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. Lodgepole had fresh water to fill up your tank and a dump station. Stayed here in a 30' rig. 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.
