Eshom Campground

Nice campground and Camp Host worked hard to keep it nice. But there needs to be bear boxes and emphasize Pack it in, Pack it Out. Great location for Kings Canyon access.

Been coming here for 3 years now, we always love it. The path to get here is very strange as for 99% of the drive it looks like you’re headed nowhere near the forest and then BAM, right at the end you’re suddenly among the trees. Sites are pretty spacious, a nice creek running through the campground as well. Very secluded, quiet and clean. Important to note that it is not a close drive to get into the National Park, don’t stay here if you’re planning on going back and forth. You can make the shorter drive (30 min) if you have a sturdy 4WD but regular cars won’t make it. First year, camp host was Steve, he was extremely diligent about rules for keeping bears away (rinse coolers/food boxes, all scented things into the car, no sleeping in clothes you cooked in etc), second and third years it was Kathy who made no mention of rules even when we asked. Sounds like bears have started to make their way into the campground again so when we went this year we stuck with our usual protocols and had no issues. Used ammonia sprays to make sure all scents of foods were gone and kept everything pristine. Love coming here every year.

The lady who’s in charge there is very rude and she try to give us the wrong sites because other people pay her cash to have that site.

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!
