Dorst Campground is really in the middle of the forest. My family and I stayed 4 nites, drove in from the coast on Sunday nite and left early Thurs. morning. We were in a 26 ft. R.V. and stayed in campsite 15. Since this campsite is on the outskirts of the campground we had no problems with noise from other... More

Dorst creek campground might be the best campground in the giant forest. We were there for 5 days and only saw one bear the entire week. We were worried because of prior reviews, but the rangers told us they had problems with bears last year. Nothing this year. More

Reserved for a quick one nighter over July 4 weekend .Snagged the last night using reserve.america online reservatoin system about two weeks beforehand. The campground is very open and spread and large. Noise travels and sadly, so too do people's TVs, radios, and the like making my camping less than peaceful at times. Our campsite was literally on top of... More

We stayed there only one night because there was no more place at the Lodgepole campground. We didn't have any bear that night, but when we registered, the girl told us there were lots of bears at this campground (and I didn't see anyone else working there...). We've liked to have a large tent site so that our tent was... More

Great location for the campground - not too far from the free Sequoia parks shuttle service and Kings Canyon. Cooler temperatures at Dorst campground than some of the other campgrounds (i.e. Potwisha campground) where it can get up to 100F. Despite lectures from rangers, novice campers leave food out in the open – and hence bear raids happen every night.... More

To be fair, Dorst Creek Campground is very beautiful. There are campsites that back into lovely meadows full of wildflowers in July and creeks that hiss all night long. There are woods and stands of trees and creeks to wade in, and rocks to climb for the kids or their parents. The housekeeping is good enough but nothing to write... More

As you may notice, the happy reviews of 2003 give way to frightened reviews by those who recently camped and Dorst. We are seasoned bear campers...I'm 46 years old with two kids age 9 and 11. NEVER have I encountered so many bears at Sequioa as this year. In a five night stay between the campgrounds and hiking we saw... More

We have stayed at Dorst almost every summer for the last 16 years with my wife and daughters. It has changed a lot, and a whole lot more crowded and much different type of campers. It is still my favorite place on earth. My family have met so many different people from all over the world, folks who have had... More

Beautiful site, friendly service, more or less clean restrooms, quiet at 10 pm, also not that busy at daytime, great starshine in the night! More
