Description

You should never have to choose between convenience and open space when it comes to Sequoia National Park camping! Dorst Creek campground is the perfect choice for large groups, or those traveling with RVs and trailers. Four large campsite sections are spread out above the peaceful banks of the Dorst Creek, and paved roads make this campground a popular choice for every glamper around. Enjoy endless trails through open meadows, past wandering streams, and even into the spectacular Lost Grove, where you’ll find 15 towering Sequoias – all just a short hike from the campground!

Super active bears. Don't be at all casual about food and scented item storage. Don't leave anything in your car. Use the bear box provided at each site.

Terribly noisy and usually unwelcome bear activity due to dumb campers. This is not the place to go for rest and relaxation.

Perfect for tent camping or small RVs. Large RVs can squeeze in here. Beautiful campground! Take the shuttle to get all around Sequoia National Park.

Arrived late afternoon on a Friday in mid-August. Even with the forest fire relocated reservations we were able to find a nice, private walk-up site without reservations (first come, first serve). Highly recommend site #120, privacy and perfect distance to the flush toilets :)

Space 97 in the no generator section was more private than some of the other spots and had a nice, level spot for my 6 man done tent. Only slight prob was picnic bench was in sun all day. Heed the bear signs! One came thru my site about 6 pm.
