Buckeye Flat Campground

Great campsite, lots of shade, nice hiking close by and clean amenities.

Great place quiet and well kept

A magical place! Super clean and well maintained. The Paradise Creek trail is a must if you're staying at Buckeye. Took a short drive to the Giant Tree Museum and from there, hiked our way up to General Sherman, just incredible.

We went at the end of March, beginning of April and the weather was fantastic! About 80 degrees during the day, shaded areas everywhere. At night the temperature drops, but nothing a nice sleeping bag can’t handle. Water on the river is chilly, but if you’re up for it, a great swim (spaces 16, 17 & 18 have direct access to the river!)

Great campsite. With river and hikes nearby.

This is a great campground with great natural amenities. No complaints about the facilities. Only complaint pertains to all camp grounds. Radios should be prohibited at all campgrounds. To many folks play music ruining the outdoor experience. This camp ground is not patrolled enough so music and excessive noise can go well into the next morning. :(

Great location. Beautiful park. Only complaint is that several campers were noisy after 10.

Love that there are areas for kids to enjoy the water, as well as for adults.

They say on the website not to bring wood in, but then there is no wood available to purchase, so that was frustrating the first night. Not a great place to stay if your goal is to see the sites in the park itself, like the big trees, etc. due to the switchbacks, however it is a wonderful place to stay on its own merit.

The campground itself is lovely. Very small. Depending on which site you get, you can hear the river. The road you take from the main road to the campground is very narrow (it would be pretty hard to have two vehicles pass each other on it). The bathroom facilities were pretty nice by camping standards.

The downside was a few massive groups (14 people?) who were playing music very loudly well after quiet hours. There was no camp host present and no ranger. So pretty much you just had deal with their obnoxiously loud music and loud talking until they were done. Luckily for us we were far away from their site, but even with the sound of the river, you could still hear it. Because you are so close to the river (you can walk down to it) it attracts a lot of rowdy "party by the river" people.

So as pretty as it was, we will not stay there again. We go camping for the outdoors, not to hear someone else's music all night. We've camped in the Sequoia area many times and this was the first time we have dealt with so many loud campers.

Such an amazing campground! Lots of little trails that lead you to the most gorgeous swimming holes. I took video of this part of the river and watch it in the cold season when I am getting the winter blues. The campground and restrooms are very well-maintained.
