"The property is definitely dated. It’s perfect for a Hiker that doesn’t mind an old microwave and refrigerator and older furnishings. But I have to say, it is EXTREMELY clean and the beds are very comfortable so when you’re prepping or coming back from hiking Mount Whitney it is a wonderful respite. the staff is also super nice and has no problem coming out late to check me in with a friendly smile. There is also pressure in the showers thank God wish most hiking places don’t have. Would definitely recommend for any Hiker passing through. It is literally only 20 minutes to the portal."

AutoCamp Sequoia

10/10 Excellent
"What an awesome place! Here’s what I can tell you about our stay that I hope will be helpful. There’s a general store across the street. The Airstream suite has a pour over coffee thing but we brought our Keurig and a toaster. The bathroom has a liquid soap dispenser (yay!). Bring a light for outside. One is provided but ours wouldn’t work. Don’t forget briquets. They don’t provide a top sheet on the bed, but if you ask they’ll give you one. The first night was a little rough as the comforter wasn’t soft. Kind of a weird thing to not provide it. Get the free coffee ASAP because once it’s gone they give you instant. The staff is AWESOME and super helpful. Oh, the Mexican food was the best I’ve ever had. I can’t remember the name but as you leave the parking lot go right and it’s within walking distance. Crystal Cave was a favorite but it’s a bumpy ride. Make sure you’re on time! Overall, we loved AutoCamp and will try other locations."
