Sequoia Rv Ranch

Sequoia RV Ranch in Three Rivers is anything but «a dump» (referring to someone else’s review from 7÷26÷15).
My husband and I came here with a rented RV, something that we had never done during our 13 years together. It was our first family vacation with our 1 and 2-​year-​old daughters. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world let alone Disney Land or Legoland…
I don’t agree with the comment insinuating that this place needs «a little more class.» At all. (But this was also from the same person who called it a dump.) If you have an RV, camper or pop-​up trailer, full hook-​ups are available. Isn’t that classy camping already? Backpack into the wilderness, pitch a tent or just sleep on the ground for a week or so, then tell me how you expect a little more class here…
RECOMMENDATIONS
The pull-​through sites (especially 22 – 25, 27, 29, & 31) have an abundance of space between them. The river front sites are nice, but the river is currently so low that you can barely hear it running AND the space between you and your neighbor can be much smaller. At least it was in spot #32 (back-​in site $ 55 per night with 2-​night stay minimum) where we stayed on ⁹⁄₂₀ & 9÷21÷15. I would also recommend the following back-​in sites since they’re fairly spacious: 47 – 51. Find the campground map on their website at
.
LIKES
— nice staff members… & nice people in the mobile home park nearby
— mostly clean campsites
— picnic tables
— some sites with a deck & a view of the North Fork Kaweah River (like the one we had #32)
— several trees/​shaded areas
— full & partial hook-​ups
— 30 amp/​50 amp service
— free WI-​FI
— fire rings
— bathrooms/​showers are nearby (it’s probably a walk from the tent/​dry camping area, but… you are in fact CAMPING.)
— laundry facility
— horseshoe pit area
— if you don’t get a full hook-​up, generators are allowed until 10 p.m. (when it started to cool off real nicely)
— they offer cable service on some sites, but that’s just not camping to me… WI-​FI was stretching it.
— there is so much to explore nearby whether you drive or just walk around… our daughters saw some bears & deer for the first time ever. Sequoia National Park and this area is really lovely aside from the major drought factor.
— dump station is available at no extra charge
BONUS
— they offer GIFT CERTIFICATES… what a rad gift!
DISLIKES
— spiders up in the ceilings of the bathrooms/​showers, but they are NOT poisonous. Besides, you’re more likely to walk through poison oak or twist an ankle than get bitten by a spider here.
— it was really warm in mid-​late September especially during the day. At around 7:30 a.m. on ⁹⁄₂₁ it was 72°F, then at 9:44 a.m. the temperature was 82°F with a high of 97.
— no quarter machines, but they have plenty of quarters in the office — just ask to swap for them & be sure to do it during the day when the manager is there
— if you’re booking online, the sites are just first-​come, first-​serve. Call them if you have more questions. They are super friendly!
PLEASE «pack it in, pack it out.» There are dumpsters. Use them.

Unilocal challenge ⁸⁶⁄₁₀₀

What a friendly place! Our plans changed mid way through a 10 day trip and we showed up at 9pm a day early without a reservation for that night. Although the office was closed, they have a wonderful whiteboard system out front that shows the available spaces. Just take an appropriate space and check in the morning! Such a straight forward and easy system — it was great!
The staff could not have been any friendlier. They got us checked in the morning, suggested a shadier spot, and were over the top helpful. We got a shuttle reservation in the morning and got into Sequoia. We ended up leaving a day early (having gotten there a day early) and they refunded our last day.
Pros: incredibly sweet, helpful and kind staff. Proximity to Sequoia National Park/​park shuttle. Shady spots near the river were beautiful. Lots of trees. Although it was really crowded the first night, everyone was really quiet after 10 — very peaceful and calm. Place was very well kept up and very clean. Clearly the owners take great pride in the park.
Cons: one bathroom that was pretty far away (not a big problem in our RV.) When I was in the office, someone mentioned they tried to use Canadian quarters for the shower the night before and it didn’t work. The owner gave the back their quarters, and gave them some U.S. Quarters so they could take a shower. Very kind owners.
*Highly recommended, we would absolutely stay here again*. Get a spot by the river, can’t beat the view in the morning!

My husband and I needed a little get away for the stress in Los Angeles! I booked a just a couple weeks before we arrived. And their very busy and booked. The website reservation system is a little difficult to maneuver but the staff is amazing on the the phone to accommodate your request! I had a reservation for 2 nights with hook ups and 3 nights dry camping. But they told me to check in every day when I was there to see if they would get a cancellation for a hookup spot. The campground is away from busy streets. North fork Drive. is a nice road to go bike riding. The creek at camp is nice and beautiful! Just enough to put your feet in and cool off! I do know lots of people like the swimming hole! We had a great stay and will be back when it gets cooler! Staff as professional!

Avoid this dump. There is nothing worthwhile here. What a mistake.
Reserved 3 nights. Told at check in we would be in 1 spot for the first night then we have to move to the site next to us for the next two nights. That’s right. Pack up our trailer and move it to the next site over. It was my fault that I did not get my confirmation that supposedly said this, when the confirmation I did get just said 3 nights. Who the f@@k would book such a nonsensical trip? What kind of business would do something so inane?
The bathrooms and showers are a ways away from the camp sites and don’t forget to bring quarters. They don’t have change machines. Maybe they should use the money they collect from the showers to update them. For what we were charged I expected a little more class.
Don’t stay here.
It’s no good.

Our first time renting an RV (24′) and this was a great place to start! We had spot 54 by the river. It was a short walk to the swimming hole and my kids loved it. Bullfrogs and tadpoles and woodpeckers everywhere! We had plenty of room but it looked like the spots one row over were right next to each other-​our spot was parallel to the river. We didn’t use the facilities at all, we didn’t need to. Only problem was Verizon doesn’t work in Sequioa so we got to the campsite too late to check in and left too early the next morning for our tour of Sequoia to check in and they thought we never showed up. I guess there’s a way to check in at the bulletin board out front but we didn’t figure that out until later. Overall a great place to stay.
