Atwell Mill Campground is highly praised for its beautiful, secluded setting and well-maintained facilities, making it an ideal escape for nature lovers. Campers enjoyed the abundant wildlife, clean bathrooms, and proximity to fantastic hiking trails. While the road leading to the campground can be challenging and there are some issues with pests like mosquitoes, many found the overall experience peaceful and worth the trip.

A very lovely campground! Clean and well maintained with plenty of firewood on site. We had a great time hiking and relaxing. The sites were well spaced too and the bear lockers were large enough for storing, not just our food, but bags and sundries. Just prepare for a slow windy drive up. Well worth it!!

If you are willing to drive up a treacherous and windy road for an hour and a half one-way, you won't be disappointed in the beautiful scenery and wonderful campground with tons of redwood trees. Easy access to a bunch of awesome hiking trails. Also very close to a beautiful and modest resort called Silver City, which is a very homely and friendly place with many awesome and humble people worth meeting. Our car's battery died at the top of the mountain and several of the local residents helped us to figure it out and get a new one. I could not express fairly the amount of gratitude I have for the friendly and humble people at Silver City and I could not recommend this campground enough for those willing to make the drive up.

Fantastic hide-a-way! Excluded shady camp ground located near two amazing sequoia groves. Sites are very clean and spacious. Tough drive back into Mineral King but well worth it!

An absolutely beautiful campsite! The hikes near by are not to miss. Paradise trail was a wonderland of Sequoias. The only down side was how rank these particular outhouses smelled.

Camped out at #17 and absolutely loved it! There was a trail near to our campsite but far enough away that we didn't hear anyone.
