I'm planning to head up to the Sequoia National Park, and am wondering what the better camping places are. I'll be going during the week, and would love somewhere that isn't too crowded. Any tips would really be appreciated.
Answer
I have camped at Sheep creek (Cedar Grove area) -It is On the floor of the canyon near the South Fork of the Kings River. I fished right by my camp site and caught a limit of trout we took day trips out from there to see the rest of the area. The nicest thing I enjoyed hear is the river being so close. At night falling to sleep was hard not to do as the river soothes you to sleep. There are No reservations, First come, first served. So you may be luckey and get a site arriveing mid week.
Amenities: 111 sites, flush toilets, pay phone in the village (1/2 mile/.8 km). 1/2-mile (.8km) from showers, laundry, restaurant, market, gift shop, horseback riding. Ranger programs in July & August. One metal, bear-resistant food-storage box provided at each campsite: 48" long x 34" deep x 28" high. There are several additional boxes for sites to share.
Fee: $18/night.
I have also stayed at Buckeye Flat along the middle fork of the Kaweah River. It is beautiful here under oak trees and again the fishing is superb along this stretch. We saw a lot of deer here I think they get the feeling of safety here as no hunting is allowed around there. Again there is no reservations, First come, first served.
Amenities: 28 sites, 1 handicap site, tents only, flush toilets. One bear-resistant food-storage box provided at each campsite: 47" long x 33" deep x 28" high. There are several additional boxes for sites to share.
Fee: $18/night.

Up above the parks in the Sequoias I have stayed at upper Peppermint campground there is no drinking water, and there is dispersed camping allowed in the area. Again no reservations first come first served. There are several creeks and streams in this area that are excellent for fishing and swimming one of which has a natural water slide that runs into a very deep and icey cold pool. This was my absolute favorite of all the spots I went to in the Sequoias

Answer
Yes split up the group all general campsites are limited to a max of 6-8 unless you can find a dispersed area or a group campsite also you will need reservations, specially if you want to book multiple sites near each other. The Dorst Creek area has great group camping and lots of general campgrounds
