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.

This is a lovely location. But be aware you need to be very confident in your abilities to drive very narrow, windy rough lane & half black top roads that have blind hair pin turns. This is not just the 8 & 1/2 mi road leading up to the campground but the roads leading to that road. You also need to be confident in your equipment. If so enjoy the piece & solitude.

The site was big and bathrooms were super clean. However, was a total nightmare to find the campground with gps and from the rec.gov site

Great place to camp, but I’m glad we got to visit before the campfire restrictions went into place.

The campground was spotless and the camp host was amazing , we’re used to seeing him in big meadow but it was good to have him in eshom this year. Bathrooms were also spotless and clean

It was ok. Bathrooms were clean, people were friendly. However, very secluded, 30min off road path to get there and there are a ton of bugs/mosquitos, much more than other sites. Sites themselves arent very well kept, didnt stay the 2nd night. Stayed in Big Meadow dispersed camping area, 10x better!
