The forest was in very bad shape due to fire and drought. The stream water had been invaded by bacteria and was a tea brown color.

Pretty site, narrow one-lane road to get to site. Beautiful river runs nearby.

Stayed in #19 for a night with my boyfriend. We used our roof top tent on top of his truck and it worked perfectly! Bathrooms were very clean and hiking trails to the river were close by. The rangers were also very nice too! The site wasn’t packed, which made the stay even better. (p.s. it’s a pretty narrow road to get to the site, and there’s no reception) Would definitely come again!!!

Buckeye Flat #4 was a Beautiful site. Well situated and enough privacy to be able to completely unwind. Though no campfires it was still a wonderful experience and the Park Rangers, Staff and everyone I interacted with were Welcoming and overall just AWESOME. This was a kick the bucket list dream of mine and SEKI, Buckeye Flat made it PERFECT Thank You, Vern Shipe

Temperatures were not too bad, considering the heatwave, but there were a lot of yellowjackets that made it very difficult to cook and eat any food, and with the fire ban, there was no way to repel them. Definitely something to be aware of if you (like me) are allergic to wasps. Other than that, there is a nice calm part of the river close by that is clean, cold, and refreshing, and the restroom and sink facilities are nice.

I find it very disturbing that so many sites remain empty but are booked on the website. A entire revamp of the reservation process is needed asap.

THE BEST CAMPGROUND EVER

@HelenL7789738 · Camped on Aug 18, 2022 at Campsite #20

a gem of a campground because it's so small with beautiful oak trees everywhere!

@Margarita88267 · Camped on Aug 12, 2022 at Campsite #27

This a great spot. Restrooms are clean.

@stanl552 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #22

Crowded though National Forest closure may have had some effect.

@JavierR657 · Camped on Sep 1, 2021 at Campsite #5

Everything was just splendid people were nice and the Rangers were cool, besides one rookie LOL

@ClintonC516 · Camped on Aug 29, 2021 at Campsite #16

Bring a swimming suit! This campground is awesome, peaceful and shady.

@GraceK304 · Camped on Aug 27, 2021 at Campsite #14

A beautiful campground with multiple river access points.

@JustinB991 · Camped on Aug 23, 2021 at Campsite #1

Great campground. very easy to find and conveniently located. Road is a little narrow on the way in, but overall was very easy to get in and out (we stayed at site 1). Would definitely go back!

@HannahS573 · Camped on Aug 17, 2021 at Campsite #6

Great site. Little bit of a hill back and forth to the river, but worth it. The drive here was a little scary, but again worth it if you only have to drive it once a day.

@TieshaM584 · Camped on Aug 15, 2021 at Campsite #19

What an awesome experience! Beautiful waterhole! Friendly Rangers! Will be coming back next year

@JOANNC482 · Camped on Aug 9, 2021 at Campsite #4

The water is great. The bear was also great to know that we are not the only ones that live on this planet earth. We have to all respect them as well. Thank you. Loved the experience.

@SarahB313 · Camped on Aug 3, 2021 at Campsite #21

Someone occupied our site while we were there. They moved their stuff into our site. I made them move myself when I showed proof of my reservation.

@JobyZ651 · Camped on Jul 27, 2021 at Campsite #27

We have been enjoying buckeye for nine years and we love it.

@JonV374 · Camped on Jul 22, 2021 at Campsite #14

There is a natural water slide in the creek nearby. Great place to spend a day in the water!

@RayV683 · Camped on Jul 18, 2021 at Campsite #11

Wonderful very beautiful can’t wait to go back next year

@ValerieC889 · Camped on Jul 15, 2021 at Campsite #3

Buckeye is the best tent camping around! We look forward to our time in Sequoia every year.

@ErinS491 · Camped on Jul 9, 2021 at Campsite #9

Loved the river!! Nice large tent pads and shady areas.

@ErinS491 · Camped on Jul 9, 2021 at Campsite #7

Nice large tent pads. Nice shaded areas. The river was an absolute blast, spent most of the time exploring the river.

@JenniferM703 · Camped on Jul 7, 2021 at Campsite #23

Great area for families who want to swim at some great water holes

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
