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.

Quiet, clean, and beautiful. We were in site 4 and there was room to park our minivan and pitch our four person tent, and room for the kids to play left over. Close to gorgeous trails into Sequoia groves.

When you make an online reservation, no maps are provided and Apple Maps stated that I’m 11 hours away. Horrible experience and customer service. Took 5 hours to arrive there and then the road was closed on the way back. Ruined the plans.

Its a beautiful place. The drive up can be rough and not for everyone. Definitely not staying as long as we did next time (a whole week) We had to make a short 15 minute drive to silver city to shower and buy ice and water. To wash dishes we had to wash in a container and dump the water in the toilets per the park rangers. The drive to Sequioa is about an hour and 45 mins but took us over 3 hours because it was a Friday. The drive to the hikes to the lakes are about half an hour from camp. Overall very grateful for the experience.
