We just camped here June 10-12, 2022 in site 9.
We used our camper van and our friends used a tent. Camp host was very friendly. Burn scars are close to the campground but you can't see them when in the campground.
Wildlife:
-No bear or deer activity on this trip.
-Plenty of mosquitos, bring deet bug spray and citronella candles.
-Butterflies, lady bugs, moths and spiders are other bugs we encountered
-Squirrels, birds and an owl were close to our site.
Campground info:
-No bear boxes
-No running water
-Vaulted Toilet was one of the cleaner one's I've seen. Please remember to leave the lid down when done using it. It helps with smell for the next person.
-Sites are close together
-Saturday forest service came by and picked up trash. Camp host had to tell us about it. Not sure if this is their normal day. The rest of our trash we hauled out with us.
-Meadow is beautiful and our dogs loved running in it.
-Each site has a fire/grill pit and picnic table.
-Campground fires are ok in the fire pit. We brought our propane firepit.
-10 PM quiet hours start. One of our neighbors was up until 2am around their fire and were not very quiet. The second night was better.
Site 9 info:
-Seemed to have the best shade all day compared to other sites. Was slightly sloped but not terrible.
-Close enough to the bathroom but couldn't smell it.
-2 sites away from Camphost
-Picnic table was impressively level for being on a slope. We brought an extra 6' table with a rug on it (to help stop items from slipping off) to cook on. This was perfect so we could play games and eat at the picnic table.
Hiking:
-Due to the fire last summer most trails are closed.
-Trail of 100 giants was open, one section is blocked due to a burned fallen sequoia. There's a way to loop around the other side and still enjoy 95% of the trail. Parking $12 per vehicle.
-Dome Rock is open. We didn't hike it though.
-Dogs are allowed on trails on a leash.
Since there wasn't a lot of hiking options we went to CA Hot Springs and enjoyed lounging by the pool. They also have showers for swimmers. Dogs not allowed here. 25 min drive from Holey Meadow Campground.
Overall had a great experience here. Thank you!
