We camped at Dorst before we had kids a dozen years ago and were excited to bring the kids for their first stay in August of 2019. Even with the number of campsites at Dorst, the way the loops are set up it never felt crowded. We spent our time hiking and playing along the creek and participated in ranger talks at the amphitheater. We had a wonderful time and will be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dorst Creek campground, it was well-maintained, and the setting was gorgeous. We especially appreciated the shuttles that took us throughout the park and made our stay even more enjoyable because it obviated the need for a car. We took the trail to Muir Grove right from the campground and it turned out to be an excellent hike with a spectacular grove of Sequoias at the trail end, a fitting finale to our stay at Dorst Creek.

The campsite was very clean and the free shuttle was very useful. It was very near the main area without being to busy. I would highly recommend it for the trips to the main treks.

I returned to Dorst after almost 20 years and found that was almost exactly the same! Thank god! The campground was well maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful. The park seems to be holding up quite well despite the years and growing traffic, which is encouraging for the future. I am looking forward to returning sooner than 20 years this time.

spent a couple tent camping nights in late August at Dorst Creek and had a nice time.....had a visit in evening from a bear when neighboring tents left their smores ingredients on top of bear box, instead of in it. shuttle to park was incredibly convenient to visit all the points of interest and hiking trails.
