Camper at the Sequoia Forest Retreat

Welcome to our cozy and convenient retreat located just 11.2 miles from the entrance to the Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. Our 2016 Keystone 5th Wheel RV Camper is situated on semi-wooded land in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains at an elevation of 3,000 ft, near the awe-inspiring Giant Forest and the famous General Sherman Tree.

Guests will enjoy the peace and tranquility of being nestled in a cove of cedar trees, with access to stunning natural beauty just outside the door. For those who love outdoor adventure, our location is ideal as we are within 3 miles of the Sequoia National Forest, which offers endless opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, and more.

Our RV camper is the perfect home base for travelers visiting the National Parks and wanting to see the snow and the majestic Giant Sequoia Trees, including the largest living tree on Earth, the General Sherman Tree. With a comfortable interior and all the necessary amenities, guests will have their own space to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring the area.

We invite you to experience the beauty and serenity of the Sequoia National Forest and nearby National Parks from the comfort of our RV camper. Book your stay with us today and start creating unforgettable memories in this stunning wilderness area of California!

Amazing stay in a beautiful place

Ron goes above and beyond by not only opening his incredible property to guests, but providing a hospitality experience. He is incredibly responsive, intentional, and even made us a delicious breakfast. The amenities perfectly suited our needs and he has upgraded furniture since the most recent reviews. We stayed with him five years ago and will be sure not to wait another five to come back!

Lovely Camper With a Nice View

We were very pleased with how spacious the camper was (for 2 adults). The owner was pleasant and very welcoming. A bit off the beaten path, but it put us in a good starting location for our trip to Sequoia Park.

The host is very responsive and gave detailed instructions on how to get to the place. We are up for the adventure and experience thus we decided to book the RV even though it’s in a remote area. It wasn’t that bad, the RV is in a good condition, there’s wifi, tv and heater. everything works alright and the sunrise view is amazing! Overall, it was okay and we had a pleasant stay. Thank ronald!

Quiet, pleasant retreat spot

Very good for just me traveling alone. Had to drive quite a ways out of the way to Kings Canyon NP because of a road closure. Place would have been a bit too small for two people. Very clean well cared for, goid check in and out instructions.

Great stay

We thought the camper stay was great. The owner greeted us and we enjoyed a short visit. He gave us privacy but offered suggestions for a wonderful hike at King’s Canyon NP. His dog Luna was so sweet and stopped by daily to say hi and get some head rubs. This place is in a private, quiet neighborhood which was nice after full days in the park.

My husband and I stayed here for a quite get away. The roads are very curvy and it is very secluded, but it is close to the Sequoia National Park which we visited also. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will reserve again if we are in that area!!! Five stars all the way!!

A unique stay and a wonderful host

Really great stay overnight in Ron's RV. It was set up perfectly ready for us when we arrived and everything was comfortable. Ron gave excellent instructions on how to arrive and even offered an additional mattress as an option for the night. It's remote location puts it right in the wilderness with a beautiful view of the valley and wildlife around. The pets on property were happy to make friends as were we. Great stay all around!

Get away from the crowds at the national parks.

This is just as described - away from everything. Quiet and peaceful for sure. Just make sure you bring your own food, no markets or restaurants near by. Trailer was very comfortable and owner very responsive and loved his dog, Luna.

Excellent Escape

This was the perfect location for me while visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. I wanted to be off the grid to a certain extent, but also have solid WiFi and cell service if desired. This met all of those needs, and the host was wonderful, greeting me upon arrival and departure, along with his trusty German Shephard, Luna.

Older camper. It was starting to show its age. We were in a hawt wave when we went but turning the A/C off when you are in is a big problem for me. Very hot when we showed up our first day 115. So it took for ever to cool off. Finding out it was a Vegan kitchen the day when should up was also a big problem for me.

National parks visit

We stayed at Ronald’s place for 4 nights whilst visiting the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National parks. It was very conveniently located about 30mins from the north entrance, and we had a very comfortable stay with plenty of space for 2 people. Having a kitchen in the RV was very handy as there aren’t really many restaurants etc around - stock up with food before arriving as stores are limited in the area. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked but was missing any bowls. The RV was generally clean with just a few cobwebs here and there. Ronald was very friendly and helpful and gave us a few tips on places to visit in the parks. Be aware that a lot of the roads in the area and up to the park are narrow and winding, as is the driveway up to the RV, although this didn’t cause us any problems.

Misrepresentation

It started out with walking into the trailer and seeing three leather pieces of furniture totally worn out and the seats on the couch cushions were all torn up. He had placed lousy looking blankets and all three pieces of furniture, I guess, to make it look better. But needless to say it didn’t! Pictures in his listing showed brand new leather furniture! Then we tried to contact Ron by his intercom and at his front door. He responded to neither attempts! When we went to use the kitchen we discovered it was very very poorly supplied. One frying pan with a handle just about falling off. Could’ve found something better at Goodwill! The only highlight of that first night were the brand new sheets on the bed. The second night when getting ready to shower, looked up and on the ceiling was a huge tarantula like spider. Again, we tried several times to get a hold of Ron through his intercom and also knocking at his door. No response! At that point we up and left and never to return. POOR COMMUNICATION AND DEFINITELY MISREPRESENTED HIS LISTING!!!

So, let me preface by saying, if you're a roughing-it-camperer, this is your spot. The best thing about it is the view and the sounds of nature. They do provide Starlink internet and cable TV. The air worked fine, and the heat worked well, but we didn't figure out how to use it (user error), it was almost 5 am and we'd been freezing all night. The description is completely inaccurate. The camper condition is beyond pale. YOU CANNOT PUT TOILET PAPER IN THE TOILET!! This should have been in the description! The couch and recliners were beyond trashy. They were ripped and chaffy... clean, I guess, but just "ick". I had to cover mine in a sheet to even sit. They cover them with half-way couch covers that kept falling and just... well, "ick". That being said, I'm 56 and like a clean area. There were 4 of us and I'm the baby of the group, the oldest is 74! This is a "young person who isn't icked out over pee/poop toilet paper in the trash, peeling doors, walls, and general deteriorated furnishings" place. Again, if none of that bothers you, it's perfect! I mean that seriously... the view, night sky, etc is beyond gorgeous, but then God created all of that. ;) The owner was very nice, he did call to offer more sheets. He did say he's about to update the place with new furnishings, and fix the walls etc, but the toilet paper issue is a deal breaker for me. Just be aware, the pictures must have been taken when new. It is beyond well-used now.

Nice Camper

This was a very cozy camper on the owner's property (their house is right behind it). I'm not a huge camping guy so this was a little out there for me but since I was going to be hiking every day I wanted to add to the adventure. It has wifi, TV, decent sized frig and kitchen area and a comfortable bed. The only downside is the bathroom - you can't flush toilet paper and the shower hardly has any pressure at all. The host was very nice though and made me a good vegan pizza for 20.
