Sequoia RV Park

This is just a quick post to say that this place exists. It’s fine. It’s weird. But it’s in a convenient location and it has electric hookups that work. It’s right across from a gas station, which is important if you’re heading up to Sequoia or Kings Canyon. It does not look as nice in person as it does on its website, but that’s marketing for you. There was no one to check anyone in, so it was a choose your own site situation. The map showed a dump at site 46, but really it was just that you sort of pull through site 46 and use their sewer outlet. Confusing. But it worked. Hookups are way at the back of the sites but our power cord reached. All things considered, it was fine, but for $60 a night you’re paying for the location.

For us, it was good to stop here. Coming down from Lake Isabella and stopping in Bakersfield for shopping was a six hour travel day. We were also wanting to gas and charge up before climbing five thousand feet. It was only another twenty miles into the park, but that’s an exciting drive best saved for the morning after a good night’s sleep. If we come back, we want to check out Project Survival Cat Haven. It is just up the road from the RV park and it looks super cool. We got there too late in the day to visit and it closes at 4. It is a 93 acre facility housing large cats, some rare and endangered. Note to self to keep that in mind and arrange a tour next time we’re up that way. Richard also notes he would like to figure out how to ride 245 some day.

Total miles from Boulder Gulch: 161.5, 17.3 mpg, 6 hours 10 min with shopping stop in Bakersfield. Site 84. Electric and water hookups. There was a sewer outlet but the hole was too small. There is a pseudo dump by pulling through site 46 and using the outlet there. It is marked on the campground map, but not indicated any other way. Hookups are located at the back of the sites, so some seemed like they would be too far from the pad. Not a lot of sites with shade. Self check in. Good cell service for both.
