Eshom Campground

What sets Eshom Campground apart is its tranquil atmosphere amidst the towering giants of the Sequoia National Forest, offering a secluded retreat with direct access to serene creekside sites and trails into ancient sequoia groves. Located at 4,800 feet in elevation within the Giant Sequoia National Monument, this rustic campground caters to nature enthusiasts seeking hiking, wildlife viewing, and immersive outdoor experiences.

The campground is divided into two sections: the west side, featuring potable water, formal parking, and access to Eshom Creek, and the east side, which is more primitive with stone fire rings and no running water. Vault toilets are available throughout. With its blend of shaded campsites surrounded by Ponderosa pines, cedars, and sequoias, Eshom is a fantastic destination for tent campers and RVs under 30 feet, though the unpaved, winding roads demand caution. Nearby attractions include Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, just 25 miles away, accessible via a scenic but narrow route.

Eshom’s location offers an authentic wilderness experience, complete with opportunities to explore the Redwood Mountain and Whitaker Forest sequoia groves or pick wild blackberries. It’s an ideal base for those seeking solace or a launching pad for day trips to iconic natural landmarks.
