Sequoia camping trip:

Hello everybody!, a couple weeks ago the old lady and I went to Sequoia National Forest, the drive took approximately 3 1/2 hours from the I.E. below are some photos of our trip and the rig!


views on our way to the campsite.


Found this neat sign on our way back home.


The host at Sandy Flats was super cool, We enjoyed our stay.

Grilled up some chicken with veggies on the side too. Gordon Ramsay where you at?

 

Did you get to drive through Kings Canyon? That's my favorite part about SEKI

 

I entered right next to Bakersfield and went up through there !

 

Was this before the stay at home orders? Asking only to see if sandy flats is still open

 

No this was in the last week of November 2020. I haven’t looked to see if they’re open but I think they’re closed due to the winter season at the moment

 

I'm going for Thanksgiving, pretty much the same time you did last year. Any good tips or camping spots?

 

My tip...... Hume lake probably has the best giftshop items

 

Sorry just seen this ! I hope you enjoyed your weekend and a good thanksgiving & my own advise is be prepared for the cold nights lol, don’t be like me sleeping in the back of my Tacoma with my lady and a couple blankets / sleeping bags. my sleep sucked that night

 

It's ok. I made out ok! I brought a buddy heater for inside my RTT, and had plenty of good thermals and warm sleeping bags that worked ok. Only thing is, I'm going to return the buddy heater and get a diesel heater now because we woke up with wet tent walls and sheets in the morning after a 25 deg night. I read later that this moisture is a side effect of using the buddy heater (and our breath of course, but breath alone doesn't cause that much moisture build up).

 

I know its an older thread, but these pictures are awesome! I love that state park, have been hiking throughout the Sequoias, hope to go wheeling there this summer.
