Reviews for Kaweah Oaks Campground

Three Rivers, California

 Friendly and Convenient

Review by Derek on 7/21/23, 10:08 AM

For those who fall somewhere between enjoying camping in the backcountry and needing a hotel, this is your place. Shady, spacious and level campsites with fire rings, picnic tables, clean pit toilets, outdoor sink, and heated showers. Perfect location for hitting Sequoia and Kings Canyon easily while having the convenience of a a town (gas, food). The campsite attendant (the only one I encountered) was super friendly and helpful. I wish I remembered her name so I could give her a special shout-out.

 Lacking anemities

Review by John on 8/6/22, 10:43 AM

The campsite itself is beautiful and placed close to the entrance to Sequoia. Beware that it since it's outside of the park and therefore at ground level, it can get incredibly hot in the summer - sleeping was tough even in the shadow, the sites run by the parks at higher elevation are a better option in the high season. A bit disappointing were the shower & toilets - both inside port-a-potties, crawling with ants, and no potable water anywhere. Not a huge deal for an overnight stay, but something to keep in mind for longterm camping. The owners were very friendly but have some more than questionable political views that I could overhear in a conversation with another camper. Apparently you're a fascist if you vote Democrat or believe that black lives matter. Not entirely sure how safe a campgrounds run by people with those views is for minorities.

 Lovely

Kaweah Oaks was perfect for us. Lovely walk in sites, each feels like it's own space with nice vegetation around. Warm showers, one indoor the other you can see the tree tops, great way to shower! Comfortable sites with a fire ring and picnic table. Some of the sites you can see the signs from across the road, but it wasn't a problem for sleeping. A few sites (middle) there's a power line, not super visible but there. We had one of these sites and didn't mind at all but I mention it because I know people who would. We needed a camping spot at lower elevation but that was close to the park and this was perfect. Bring drinking water! There's water but not potable. The people who run it are very nice and keep a close eye on ins & outs so I felt very safe. Be sure to hit up the jerky bar for some great jerky! No pets, great for us bc my daughter has a dog phobia & can never relax camping. We love KO and will definitely come back! Thanks for making this little oasis.

 Location!

Review by Happy Campers on 7/12/21, 8:30 PM

From the moment we arrive and ring the bell, Nikki greet us pleasantly and welcome us to the Campground! Nikki show us all the amenities and our reserved site. Very clean and organized Affordable, even though was close to highway we couldn't ask for more! Very accessible just in case we need it something. But we came prepared just to buy ice st rhe near store Tatum, also all the workers were very pleasant. Of the Camps ate full and no where to stay, this is the place to stay. Tnx for such a great time! Our kids love it. Tnx again for the great memories!

Great campground right near the entrance to Sequoia National Park.

 Excellent campsite!

My friend and I car-camped here before we headed to Mineral King for an extended backpacking trip and KOC was great! Nice clean site with a warm shower! And you can walk across the street to get some good food and beer at the River View Restaurant. The camp host (Nikki) is super friendly and has an awesome dog who will love you! Looking forward to staying here in the future...

 Horrible Management

Review by Moe on 7/14/19, 2:37 PM

Poor business practices, the gentlemen named Jeff, not sure if he’s the owner or the camp manager but he is an extremely rude individual. Walked into our campground at 9:30 at night as we were relaxing around the fire and said “he was gonna need some more cash from us” because our 13 year old daughter decided to join us and stay the night. We had one tent, on vehicle and 3 people total in the campground. When I asked him to explain himself he told me I’d better not be a smartass with him. Pretty threatening and very unprofessional if you ask me. I’m not sure how a man like him could still be in business. We will not stay there again and I wouldn’t recommend this campground to anyone else.

 Dangerous! Don't Stay Here!

Review by GreyMontelongo on 9/24/18, 11:23 PM

DANGEROUS! DON’T STAY HERE: Camping comes with many understandable risks, but staying at Kaweah Oaks Campground has been the most dangerous thing I have done in my life! It was my best friend's birthday, and since we love nature and exploring, so we decided to spend the weekend exploring Sequoia. Staying here seemed like a good option to spend the night. We drove more than 4 hrs to get to the campground, so when we got there it was late. We set up our tents and lit a fire to cook and eat dinner. Then, a really mean guy came to us yelling because we were being too loud and he was trying to sleep. He said he was a friend of the owner, and that he had stayed there for three days because he needed peace. As you can read in many other reviews, there is a loud bar right in front of the grounds, and the camp is also right next to the noisy highway, so we were really surprised to have a guy yelling at us when it was really loud across the street. Why didn’t he go yell at them? Our group was made of two girls and two boys. My best friend and I went to sleep early. Only my boyfriend and her boyfriend stayed up talking. We got up around 7:30 a.m and as we were carrying everything to the car (as you can read in other reviews, you park far away from the camping zone and you carry everything), the owner approached us out of nowhere saying: “You guys were really lucky I was not here last night. I would have called the cops and get you arrested. I want you out of my property!” I explained to him that last night the lady in charge came to us, explained all the rules (in a really nice way), and she said that it was okay to just be talking. We followed everything she said. I asked him to go and talk to her. It was the owner who approached us yelling, and then we just walked away repeating “these young people know nothing about respect.” As we were putting everything in our car (and with my bad luck), my plastic bag ripped and I had to pick everything up and put it in another bag. He came back and said, “Hurry up and get the hell out of my property. I will call the sheriff and get you arrested!” I felt so humiliated. He was yelling and treating us like if we were worse than criminals. So I yelled back “That’s enough from you. It has been established that we will not come back, so you can just stop harassing us and yelling at us.” He left yelling other things about us, and when he and his friend from last night came back, they were VISIBLY CARRYING THEIR GUNS!!! GUNS! What type of people go get their guns after an argument? We were leaving!!! We were just carrying everything to our car. Two girls and two boys. The owner and his friend were HOVERING like vultures over a dead animal! Thinking about it gives me the chills. The really nice lady who spoke to us the night before came to us as we were driving out of the parking lot. She apologized about everything and said that she was going to speak to them. Still, I would never go there again!

Review by Kris on 7/11/18, 1:27 PM

Very disappointed. Didn't know this was a walk in site. You should really mention that on your site so people don't reserve, pay for it and can't stay there. I requested a refund as we were not able to stay there. It's been a week and still haven't received a reply. Not a way to run a business on my eyes.

 Beautiful

Review by Martinez Family on 7/3/18, 3:18 PM

The camp ground was very nice and had alot of shade. My family really enjoyed our stay. We were suppose to stay the week but unfortunately our child got sick so we only got to stay one night. We will definitely come back!
