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.

Roads were maintained and campsites are taken care of. The bear box at my campsite was clean inside. The restroom I call the outhouse was clean and well stocked with toilet paper. My experience was excellent and I stayed there 6 consecutive nights. I managed to explore several areas while I was there. I’ll probably return there again next year.

There is a horrible construction going on right now on the street, so everything moves and you cannot camp in peace

Space really reduce, no noise control at all, we sleep there two nights and it was a nightmare, first night cross for us was a group of people chopping wood and yelling till late, second night a group of people arrived around 3 am making a lot of noise as well sooooo we didn’t sleep or rest there. In the other hand lote 21 it was convenient the bathroom really close.

The Road to the Camp was worse that worst. Given the Location is absolutely far away from everything else in Sequoia National Park, the Road itself is in catastophic state.

We had a great time at this campground! The tall trees AND stumps at our site made it a blast for the kids and we hiked the trail from the campground as well as the trail 3 mi up at the Cold Spring (I think) campground; both were easily accessible and very pretty. We found Silver City (again, I think that's the name) with the restaurant + playground and had a blast. The road (in the dark) was terrifying but we made it; much easier in daylight.

Really great place - not easy to get to, especially at night, but absolutely beautiful between the old large giant sequoia stumps and newer tree growth. Campground was well maintained, clean, and large. Bathrooms were checked and stocked at least daily and trash was collected daily as well. Very large bear boxes provided which were really nice and a friendly team of rangers to make sure people used them. Only one report of a bear over our Labor Day weekend stay. Our group took over site 12 and 12a which was a really neat spot. Would recommend to anyone interested in the trek!

The campground was great and the bathrooms in good shape with TP rolls in stocks. First night there we had met our park ranger who reminded us the basics of camping in bear country which is always welcome.
I’m very proud of our campground in California!

Clean bathrooms, stunning campsites, clean bear boxes. So easy so beautiful, only downside is the long drive into mineral king.
