The road up to Cold Springs is very difficult. Narrow, winding and steep. Meeting another car coming the other direction is terrifying. But the campground is terrific! Great hiking trails nearby.

This campground is located in the Mineral King area in Sequoia NP, it's accessed by turning off from the main highway before passing the ticket gates in Three Rivers. The road in was mostly a dirt road, higher clearance vehicles are strongly recommended. The journey in on the winding dirt road was quite fun! We heard there's marmots from spring to mid-summer, but we went late enough in the season to avoid marmots being interested in our car. This campsite is right next to a beautiful river, and we were able to fall asleep to sound of the rushing water. The pit toilets were kept well stocked. There's bear-proof trash cans near the pit toilets and each campsite also had a bear box.

Place was great. The only bad thing was many of the campers had superbright lighting that was brighter than car headlights. The campground was like a staduim parking at night. Totally ruined the evening experience. These lights must be banned.
But there was so much nearby hiking so at least the days were great. Spectacular hiking!!!

Awesome, secluded campground - well worth the drive! Stunning Eagle Lake hike not far - very different Sequoia experience away from the crowds

A great campground with beautiful trees, river sounds playing throughout, and plenty of beautiful hiking nearby. It attracts a more active crowd who gets out on the trails early and returns in late afternoon. The location affords a "near backpacking" experience as you explore during the day, but in the evening you can return to your campsite and have car camping comforts and convenience.
