Tempat yang sangat istimewa! Kami menginap pada hari Minggu malam jadi kami memiliki seluruh perkemahan untuk diri kita sendiri hampir! Suhu yang sempurna dan pemandangan indah. Di jalur sekitar bumi perkemahan adalah fisik tetapi sepadan dengan berjalan kaki - banyak satwa liar di hutan ini. Ini adalah perjalanan yang sangat menegangkan yang sangat sempit switchback Jalan Bumi Perkemahan tapi layak - perkemahan terbaik yang pernah saya lihat di Sequoia.
When the ranger tells you it will take you an hour just to drive to the Cold Springs Campground, he's not kidding. The road isn't that long and it's paved, but it's winding and climbs from the park's low point to the campground's 7,500 foot elevation. Situated along a slope, there are essentially two levels of road leading to sites, with the lower one closer to the satisfyingly noisy stream. But, even the higher-up areas are in earshot of the water. Sites are well-situated with trees forested around nearly every one. They're all very basic with fire rings, picnic tables, and bear boxes. There is water from spigots dispersed throughout the area… when the water flows. It gets shut off as winter nears and the campground itself closes in late fall for the season. Being that it's not an RV-friendly road getting there nor particularly RV-friendly sites, this is pretty much a tents-only place. It's not even accessed via the park's main entrance but rather via Mineral King Road that starts a klick or so before you get to the Ash Mountain Entrance. So, it's likely less crowded and more quiet that the more obvious campgrounds in the main areas of the park. There are a lot of walk-in sites at the end of the upper campground road in Cold Springs, and some of them are a good walk from the tight parking area -- especially if you're carrying your tent and gear. Even so, as they are somewhat fewer trees here than the rest of the camp areas and the walk-ins are in eyesight of each other, they don't necessarily get you much more privacy than the drive-up ones, but you won't need to worry about vehicles driving by while you sleep. Be prepared for a chilly night. This campground is the highest one in Sequoia National Park. And once here, you're not going to want to go anywhere and come back, because out and back in is two-hours of driving. But, there are some great trails just down the road from it. This campground is a great place to sleep to get an early morning start for a hike to Eagle Lake. Otherwise, you'll lose the hour driving to it that you saved by spending the night in Cold Springs Campground and enjoying the forested glory.…
