What Guests Are Saying
Eshom Campground is praised for its beautiful, quiet setting with ample tree cover and a nearby creek, making it ideal for nature lovers. Campers appreciate the cleanliness of the restrooms, the informative camp host, and the overall peaceful atmosphere. However, access can be challenging, requiring vehicles with good clearance due to rough roads, and the campground is somewhat distant from major attractions like Sequoia National Park.

Pleasantly surprised for sure! This was a last-minute booking and pretty much just took what was available. We had never been here before so we were a little concerned. It is quite a long drive up from the highway (about 1 1/2 hours towing our travel trailer) on a narrow road. Our space (#10) was huge with plenty of space to back in our trailer. The only con with experienced was the bugs! We used "Off" but that didn't work. Flies, bees, and mosquitos! Bring Citronella candles (I forgot mine) and plenty of strong bug spray. Other that that, our site was absolutely beautiful and perfect.
We never saw a camp host but somehow the trash and bathrooms were tended to. If you come out of the campground and turn right, it will put you on a fire road that leads your straight to the highway to King's Canyon. (about 45 minutes) The road is bumpy and unpaved so would not recommend low profile vehicles. This campground is tucked away deep in the forest with not much to do around. We saw dirt bikers, mountain bikers, and shooters. We loved our weekend here and would love to go back!

If you enjoy winding switchbacks and huge trees with views for miles this is the place to visit. I rode my BMW R1200 GS from Tennessee for this specific campground and was not disappointed. Its isolated, but feels safe. The campsites are large with the most beautiful trees you will see.
The road leading to the site is a tough ride. I'm still not sure how a few of the people there got those campers up that road. But if you make it, it's worth it.

Esom campground was beautiful and peaceful. Note that it’s just 5.5 mi from Grants Hwy, but it will take you 30-35 minutes because of the rough dirt road. I think it’s totally worth it though!
Vicky, the camp host, was so sweet. 😊

Nicely tucked, easy if you are coming from the Fresno side but if you are coming from the Sequoia side make sure you know the route. It was a long drive to the site. Follow the instruction on the reservation not google. Clean toilets, nice host!

The cleanest pit toilets that I've ever seen! This was an awesome campsite and was nearly deserted. We heard a tree fall and lots of rocks falling down valley after a light rainfall, it was an awesome sound! The forest road out was our favorite part. The road was a bit rough in spots, but if you have a 4x4 vehicle (without pulling a trailer), I would suggest it. It brings you up into Kings Canyon Park on the Redwood Forest road so you will have to back track a bit to the gate. This was our favorite campsite out of a 2 week trip!
