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.

The campsite was great! The bathrooms were very clean which is a big plus in my book. The camp host was hard to get a hold of many times though. It's a long drive up there, but a beautiful setting.

The campground itself is good and is in a nice area. However, while it is technically located within Sequoia, it takes about 2 hours to get into the main park because you have to take a long and winding road out of the campsite to get back into it where all the hiking is.

Stayed at Eshom for the first time this weekend. I enjoyed it a lot. First time visitors, know that this campground is pretty deep into the mountains and there is not much around unless you are willing to drive. SUVs are probably best for the off roading to get to the campfire. Have a full tank of gas too. Campfires were not allowed during the time we went which was a bummer. This campsite does not provide bear boxes. The bathrooms were kept very clean! I'd love to come back one day.

Great small campground! The only issue is in the morning when it start to warm up the bathrooms smell so bad that you may puke! Other that that it was great and the dirt road right by the campground can get you to Hume lake in about 45 minutes.
