What Guests Are Saying
Eshom Campground is praised for its beautiful and serene location, with clean facilities, a helpful host, and enjoyable amenities like a nearby creek and meadow for stargazing. Many guests appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the opportunity for family bonding in a secluded environment. However, accessing the campground can be challenging, requiring a rugged vehicle due to rough roads, and it is relatively far from major attractions like Sequoia Park. Some visitors experienced issues with smoke from prescribed burns during their stay.

Super clean bathrooms, small creek that runs through. Campos very helpful. Very Woodsey. The only downside is 40 minutes to Sequoia Park. From the main road, but if you have an off-road vehicle, you can be there in 20 minutes. And there is a redwood Grove within 10 minutes. I love my off-road Subaru.

The host was helpful and mostly we just enjoyed a beautiful, quiet campground with Sequoia and pine and a beautiful creek with blackberry bushes.

Eshom campground has a very large meadow accessible between campsites 13 and 16. It is great for stargazing at night and offers great views of tall rocky cliffs in the daytime. There are sometimes cattle in the meadow which are entertaining to watch and hear them moo.

The campground is great. We had site #22 and it had a creek running beside it. It was great for the kids to play in and explore. The bathroom and trash are next to the campground. There's no bathroom smell outside. It's a pit toilet, so there is a smell inside, but not as bad as I've smelled other places. The bathrooms were kept clean, which was a relief. There is a water spigot that we were Abel to fill from to wash dishes and take showers with. I wouldn't drink it though, it's a bit on the yellow side. Site had a fire ring.
The closest camp site to us was about 30 yards away and that one is visible to us and there's another one about 50 yards away and you can sort of see it through the trees. Lucky for us both spots were empty. We walked along the dirt road in the campground and came across wild blackberries and they tasted so great. We were able to grab enough to throw in our pancakes the next morning. We didn't see any wild life in the campground, but there are deer in the area, because we saw them on the drive into the campground.
When I was looking at the campground trying to decide on it, I saw that it was roughly 50min or so away from tree General Sherman Tree and General Grant Tree was about 45min away and figured that wasn't too bad. What I found out after I purchased the campground is that the road that Google Maps was taking wasn't being maintained, so we had to go the long way around, which was an hour and a half away or so from General Sherman Tree.
The campground is great and it felt secluded. Got to have family time without anyone around. I just wish that one road was maintained and it would have cut down the driving time.
