Buckeye Flat Campground

Great campsite. With river and hikes nearby.

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 place quiet and well kept

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

Beautiful — small campground, most have privacy, absolutely gorgeous views of the Kaweah River from some of the campsites. The real gem here is the Paradise Creek Trail, which is awe-inspiring! The clear river and creek, wildflowers, what looks to be several swimming and fishing areas, and incredible mountain scenery. We appreciated the clean bathrooms with running water as well as a dishwashing station. A short and stunning drive up to the big trees. Definitely recommend for Spring or Fall when weather is not too hot in the foothills.

Spacious spots with flat tent sites. All nicely shaded, with a creek nearby for wading and listening to. Great campground for spring and fall visits to see the sequoias, since the campground is several thousand feet lower in elevation than the main groves of sequoias in the rest of the park.

it was great!!

We stayed at Site 14 at Buckeye Flat for 2 nights in April 2021 and it was excellent. It is a small campground with ~20 sites and one central bathroom, a sink for cleaning dishes and a water fountain. Note: There is nowhere to buy firewood at the park entrance or campground, so make sure to buy some at the local store before entering the park. Also, the last road to the campground is a narrow two-way on the side of the mountain, so I recommend trying to get to the site when it's still light out because entering on that road in the dark is likely scary. Overall, we loved this site and would stay here again.

Fantastic campsite, loved our spot by the river.

The campground is beautiful and I loved being able to hear the river as I fell asleep each night. Definitely check out Hospital Rock while there. It's right at the entrance to the campground and is so interesting! Would also recommend buying firewood on your way in to the park. Collecting downed wood is allowed, but for me at least, it was hard to find good sized pieces. Or, if you plan to collect downed wood, make sure you have a way to cut it.
