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 campsite is beautiful and peaceful. However, it takes an hour's drive up a windy road to get there and it is literally on a dead end road connected to nothing. We initially thought we could thru hike to some nearby trails but got lost very quickly. Also, the entire site was visited by a VERY large black bear that roamed around all night going through trash cans. This place desperately needs bear boxes and better bear-proof trash cans. Old Bubba the bear was very well fed and very accustomed to humans.
They site was nice though. Very peaceful and we'll kept with a nearby stream in a beautiful forrest. Main complaint was that is was so far from everything else, but that's more on me for not doing my research!

Nice campground. My spot was very big next to a creek. My only complaint was that there were people there in our spot when we arrived and did not want to move, thankfully the host made them move. The restrooms were very clean. I don’t know what people are talking about the way getting there. It was very easy arriving to the campground, gps took me there with no problems.

Drove from San Diego, really enjoyed the quite and the lack of people. Only one small compliant. No bear boxes for the food. It was obvious in the mornings, that bears had been knocking over the trash cans. But aside from that, clean and quite. Great time.

Campground was nice but it's so far from anything, take one hour to drive to the nearest hike.

Our second time at this campground and it is not as great as the last time.
The new host let’s a bear rummage trough trash cans every night and then leaves the trash on the little campground street for hours.
Parties of people are not asked to be quiet at 10 pm and petty until all hours of the mornings while the host has the generator running all night.
Still a beautiful spot but not quite or clean camping any more.
