Weekend Trip to River Bluff Retreat
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Getaway!
This campsite was everything we hoped for and more! It was peaceful, absolutely beautiful, and incredibly private—the perfect place to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with nature. The entire experience felt enlightening and refreshing.
The RV was extremely comfortable and homey, with cozy touches that made it feel like a true retreat. The kitchen was stocked with every utensil we could’ve possibly needed, which made cooking super easy and enjoyable.
The views were breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset. One of the best parts was being able to hike along the river and explore nature without seeing another person—just pure tranquility and wide-open space.
Other things we loved:
✅ Super clean and well-maintained space
✅ Thoughtful host who clearly care about the guest experience
✅ Perfect balance of comfort and “outdoor adventure”
✅ A hidden gem that feels private but still safe and welcoming
If you’re looking for a beautiful, serene escape where you can relax, recharge, and enjoy nature in complete privacy, this is the place. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be coming back! 🌲✨

From the beginning the host was really answering all my questions about the land… this place is a gem, we celebrate my friend birthday and we got an amazing time. We found everything we need there! The river was a plus. Definitely we would love to comeback.

Awesome private getaway just off the main road and 10 miles away from the Kings Canyon visitors center. We had a large group (9 adults and 10 kids) and we were situated right in front of the lake wheee the kids had a blast on the canoes and fished from the pier. We woke up to deer grazing in the field and turkeys later in the day. There were also some dairy cows from the ranch close by but they didn’t come back after the second night.
This site has real bathrooms and showers with electricity to recharge electronics. Thanks to Chris for keeping the grounds clean and cows at bay!
Highly recommend Hye Camp!

Camp Hye Sierra is a classic summer camp setting, usually used for long kids’ camps. Our spot was by one of the lakes, with paddle boats, a boathouse with running water and flush toilets, and an arbor that came in handy during an unseasonal rainstorm.
We were the only campers, so we had our choice of space. If it were busy, finding a flat tent spot could be harder.
The area is remote, quiet, and private — you can almost hear echoes of past camp life. The only downside was a large number of wasps.

Great place; Chris and Tony were helpful and friendly; drive in from the main road is safe but one should be extra careful; restrooms clean and complete with paper towels and hand soaps; kids and adults loved the lake and canoes; life vests available for sizes S to XXL; saw a deer and a fox

Tent camping lakeside was perfect. Location was great too. Very close to the General Grant entrance of Kings Canyon.
Plenty of amenities available. Went out in a canoe multiple times. Kids fished off the dock and had some pretty good luck. We all enjoyed swims in the lake.
Plenty of firewood at the communal fire pit.
Flushing toilets and running water was nice. The bathroom did have a lot of dead bugs, but were great once cleaned. Trash cans emptied regularly.
Chris was our on-property point of contact. He was super helpful and responsive.

Our family enjoyed camping here for 3 nights and 4 days. The property is off the main highway on the way to Sequoia National Park, and although the road is a little windy and mostly a one-lane, it is paved. Cell service is spotty and mostly places nonexistent. We called before to notify the property manager and he gave us directions on how to get there. Upon arrival we had little help from the manager but took it upon ourselves to just figure it out.
The photos on Hipcamp are a bit deceiving. The pavilion is right next to the lakeside camp area, the bathrooms and the basketball court, soccer field are walking distance.
The pond is catch and release (the fish like worms!) so bring your rods. It’s pretty murky and I wouldn’t swim in it though. But he did say it’s tested monthly.
Pros: hot water in bathrooms, water bottle filling station, wood provided for fire pit
Cons: bullfrogs are LOUD at night and kept us awake (bring ear plugs), minimal guidance from property management
Overall: we enjoyed our stay. It’s basically an Armenian Church Camp during the mid-summer months and they must rent out camp space the remaining weeks. The property manager is more like a groundskeeper but everything was easy to manage and figure out.
Other notes: we saw glow worms by the fire pit! They must get fireflies later in the season.
It seems like there is no designation between lakeside 1, 2 vista 1, 2. You just find a spot and camp there.

We had an awesome stay at Lakeshore Resort. They just opened for the season on Memorial weekend. We have a class A 30' RV. Our rig fit fine in Site #9. Easy back-in. Road up to the site a bit bumpy so take is slow. Check-in is at the general store, which is huge and has a lot to offer. Lev at the store is very friendly as the rest of the staff managing the resort. Aaron, camp host, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves his job. Walking trail from campsite along the creek and down to the lake.
Owner is putting a lot of work into the resort. Check out their website to see what the plan is. Looking forward to seeing it complete! Expect some construction, but that didn't deter us from having a relaxing time. Camp bathroom and showers were clean.
Saloon and restaurant just opened for the season as well. Friendly staff and yummy food!
