Sequoia and Kings Canyon are the greatest forests I’ve ever stepped into. The hikes and scenic views are unforgettable—you can spend hours just soaking it all in. Make sure to drive all the way to the end of Kings Canyon—it’s a long drive, but totally worth it. There are two gas stations in the area, which gives peace of mind. If you’re visiting on a weekend, don’t stress over parking—just head to the larger lot and take the shuttle buses. Everything is well organized. There are black bears and deers so drive safe! At night time, we saw thousands of bats flying around. An unforgettable experience!

Stunning vistas and ancient forests are the hallmark of these neighboring parks, and neither is to be missed. We spent a week exploring both parks and had an amazing time. Lots of great small hikes that take you to iconic sites, or for the more adventurous, all-day or multi-day trips into the backcountry await you. We had an amazing time seeing the sights, learning from rangers, and communing with nature.

The giant sequoias are inspiring, and the scenic drives through Kings Canyon rival Yosemite with fewer crowds. Tons of great hikes, waterfalls, and views that make you feel small in the best way. Be sure to pack a cooler full of water, snacks, and check road openings; worth every mile!

Absolutely stunning. We chose to go to general grant instead of Sherman to avoid some crowds. The trees in that grove did not disappoint. Limited rv parking in the lot but we found a place on the road before you enter the parking lot. Highly recommend.

This place is so magical, we're very grateful to the parks service for working to keep these places available for us to visit. Please don't be an asshole.... Park where you are supposed to park, don't carve your name into trees, don't walk off with pinecones .... These places are precious... Treat them that way.

We were here for work but took some time off to see the general Sherman tree. It's an amazing ecosystem, right now it's replete with wildflowers and pollinating insects, chipmunks, mule deer, and you may even see black bear

What an incredible place so close to home! The rangers make it so easy to get around the park with shuttles to many destinations within the park. I do recommend you go early to find parking and move around in their shuttle system.

Nice little place to stop before driving up the mountain to see the beautiful sequoia trees. Includes a small museum and gift shop and clean restrooms. Friendly staff and great place to learn about these beautiful trees.

Small area that provides park visitors a place to stop and use the facilities before another 30min push up to the Giant Forest. You can buy tickets to the Crystal Cave here. It's a cavern formation that is available to tour at Sequoia. You cannot buy tickets up there at their entrance. You can get information from an NPS Ranger here, but the Foothills is mostly a small visitor's center. It was our first stop, but we would have been fine passing by it.

Nice selection and there is an Artistic place where the eye logo fits. It's right here on one of these beams so the neighborhood who SHOULD know where they should buy shoes will know beyond a SPOOKY shadow of a doubt. Please paint the logo in the 👁️ of our state! Thank you!

Much smaller than I thought. Just enough services to visit the Park.

I'm going to be in the minority here and opine that Kings Canyon is not worth visiting unless you have never seen a sequoia before. It was not worth the plane ticket, the 6 hour drive from SFO, and the countless hours wasted in traffic to get here. Once you arrive at the entrance, it's another hour or so to the first sight, followed by more hours stuck behind an auto going 10 mph or less. I enjoyed the easy hike up Moro Rock, but the other scenic byways and attractions I could have done without. There are some interesting mountain ranges and dramatic cliffs here, but nothing that was truly special like those in Bryce, Zion or Glacier----OK, the immense sequoia was awesome but I thought Kings canyon had a deeper gorge than the Grand Canyon? This place is remarkably over-hyped!

Basic visitor center that serves its purpose. The Foothills Visitor Center is pretty standard - nothing fancy, but it covers the essentials for getting oriented to Sequoia National Park.Has the basic information you need about trails, park conditions, and general visitor services. Staff was helpful enough and could answer our questions about the park.

It's small and crowded during peak season. Staff members are doing their best to help everyone. The restrooms are small but serve their purpose. The small selection of items to purchase is cute but other visitor centers in the past have more.

So nice and full of wonders. The smell of chocolate is amazing. You can see them make the chocolate. The ice cream is great.

This is such a cute lil shop! There are three different sections. One for ice cream, one for candy/chocolate and one for holiday decorations. It’s a great shop to get a nice treat or gift for yourself or a loved one. Lots of options! I ordered some ice cream. The most popular in house made berry flavor was very good and the ice cream had a lovely texture. I also ordered some truffles of different flavors and everything was fairly priced! The ladies working were very helpful and patient while I picked out what I wanted. If you’re traveling to Sequoia National Park, this shop is worth stopping at! Also almost forgot to mention, the outdoor seating area both in the front and the back are absolutely gorgeous. So cozy! The back has a view of the river.

I have been coming here for 48 years. However, this time when we came to visit.... there were much fewer chocolate selections, and the ice cream portions were almost half the size. When most customers spend at least $100, this is unacceptable. I'm deeply disappointed. We have always promoted Reimer's. I doubt we will anymore.

If you’re anywhere near Sequoia National Park, do not skip Reimers in 3 Rivers! This place is a handcrafted chocolate dream. The sea salt caramels melt like velvet in your mouth — sweet, buttery, and dipped in rich dark chocolate with just the right salty crunch. The milk chocolate almond cluster? Crunchy, smooth, and addictive. And that chocolate square dusted with crushed nuts? Pure bliss. Every bite tastes like it was made with love and magic. The shop smells like a sweet fairy tale, and everything looks as good as it tastes. You’ll want to buy one of everything — and then go back for more. A must-stop spot for any road trip snackers or sweet-tooth travelers. 5 stars — tastes like happiness. #ReimersCandy #3RiversCA #ChocolateLoversDream #WorthTheDetour #SequoiaEats

If you are visiting 3 rivers or the Sequoia National Park this is a must stop I have been coming Here since I was a child we visit the camp grounds in three rivers every year and we always make a trip to the ice cream shop They have a 3 rivers Berry ice cream which is delicious and a homemade candy shop the service is always excellent

Must visit! What a beautiful store with so many choices. It has various ice cream and chocolate and candies.

If you like Reese‘s pieces you have to try their version. Chocolate melts in your month. So yummy!!

What a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Our appetizer was the highlight. We ordered cauliflower appetizer. It’s a chill vibe place.

This place was nice and the food was good. We sat outside near the river to enjoy the view while we ate our meal. It was nice how ever I got comped on by mosquitoes, 2 of my friends didn't and 1 other did like me so if mosquitoes are always a problem for you like me you might want to eat inside or spray yourself before going in. The menu isn't the biggest but it works.

This is a great place to have a hearty breakfast before going into Sequoia National Park. The food is yummy, the servers are all very nice and the view of the river behind the restaurant is lovely.

Showed up at 620pm on a Saturday in spring Told it would be a 30 min wait for a table and 1 hour wait for food Put our name on the list and then went to three rivers brewing for a drink with a timer set. Went back at the 20 min mark to make sure we didn’t miss our call, as there isn’t a text service or buzzer etc. We were then told that they had called our name 3 times already and had moved on and sat other people. After 10 min wait they then said they could seat us. All while the entire inside dining room was empty. We sat outside in the courtyard for 15 minutes before anyone took a drink or meal order or brought over water. Water was then provided by a different waiter while we waited for our server. By 730pm we had placed our drinks and food order. Food then came quite quick. The food is really great. The location is great, it’s just the service is a bit slow and the front staff were rude and the issue with the putting our name on the list. Would recommend if you want good quality food, smaller portion sizes but great tasty fresh food. The cauliflower and the pesto spaghetti were so good!

If you’re visiting Sequoia National Park and want to grab a bite to eat, look no further than the Buckaroo. We only spent one day & one night in the area, but visited twice - once for brunch and again for an early dinner. The good: the food is excellent. If you sit outside in the back, it’s a great view of the river. The bad: the service is pretty slow, so be prepared to wait 30-45 minutes for your meal. Credit to the servers as they’ll tell you about the long wait. But even with the slow service, it’s worth coming here. For brunch we had the egg sandwich with potatoes and my partner got the chilaquiles. For dinner I got the fried chicken sandwich with waffle fries and she got an arugula salad.

OL Bakaroo is a must-visit for its delicious crispy fried chicken, which is perfectly seasoned and satisfyingly crunchy. 🍗 The grilled flowers are a unique and tasty twist, adding a fresh and flavorful touch to the menu. 🌸 And the Bankaroo burger is a standout, packed with juicy goodness and all the right toppings. 🍔 Overall, it’s a great spot for a flavorful and satisfying meal. 😋

Great local place next to the river. You can watch the rafters float by while having your meal. Super friendly staff. I had breakfast and my eggs were perfect. A simple but rare feat. Definitely go when in the area.

Only the spaces for RVs are very clearly marked and by "very clearly", I do mean there is just a handwritten number on each one of the electrical boxes. The map is a general guide but there is really no indication over which road is a road or where that road goes to. The prices are the highest we have seen so far in California; we've been traveling in the state for 7 months. 30 amp: $80 50 amp: $88 "Premium" 30 amp: $74 "Premium" 50 amp: $81 "Water, electric, cable river" $68 Water/electric: $55 RV dry camping/tent camping: $44 Rates are based on two adults. Anyone over 13 years old is an additional adults and that will be $2 extra, per person. If you would like a small tent with your RV it is an extra $10. AT&T is the only provider with cell reception in the area. The campground does have Wi-Fi but due to the capacity of people staying it was insanely slow. 95% of the RV camp spots were already taken and the other 5% were already reserved for the next day. If this campground were to be functioning at full capacity, it would be making $121,110 (not including any of their extra fees) per MONTH. They closed all BLM land in the area for 10+ miles.. we came in late at night, nearly sunrise, and were just trying to find a safe place to rest for a few hours. We can't use an RV plugin to power at the moment but we did appreciate a somewhat safe place for a couple of hours that had a place to "boondock" (dry camp).

Nice RV park near Sequoia National Park. The spots were large/easy to pull into and weren’t too close to our neighbour. We didn’t have a site with full hook ups, but the campground offered a service to come empty your tanks without having to move your rig. Great dog run area with a bit of shade/grass for our boys to run around. 4 stars because the washrooms were a bit dingy.

We stayed at Sequoia RV Ranch and overall had a very positive experience. We checked in late, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The campground felt safe, with helpful staff and plenty of other campers around. Our RV hookup was seamless. We were close enough to hear the leisurely flow of the river, which made the setting peaceful. We didn’t use the showers or laundry, but note that they are coin-operated. The bathrooms were fine, though they could be a bit better maintained. Sites felt roomy, though some are tight or shaded by low branches... just something to keep in mind when parking your RV. Wi-Fi worked reasonably well throughout the campground. Bonus: Visit in April when citrus trees are blooming... the drive from the west coast is truly scenic with a memorable floral scent. Overall, a solid and convenient base for exploring Sequoia National Park... we’d stay again

Great place to come rving or tenting, A little spendy, but what isn't these days. From 50amp hook-ups to tent spaces. We go about twice a year. Nice river views/access. Quiet and we'll kept.

The swimming hole and creek made our stay! Beautiful spot to jump in and cool off after traveling. Our kids loved it. The only complaint was the bath house required quarters, which we didn’t have.

The manager and his wife absolutely lovely people. They are definitely the couple you sit and chat with all night long at camp. There are beautiful humming birds that feed on the flowers along the river. The sound of the River is relaxing if the site isn't crowded. The dog park is big, be careful ground animals dig holes and you may trip or the ground will collapse beneath you amd theres frogs in the poop can. There a beautiful lone mare that will come and talk with your pups and watch you play. Locals also use this park but are pleasant. Dumpster are easy to navigate to. The hillside view is beautiful near the river. This was 1-1.5 hours from the major points in Sequoia and the drive is winding/steep. Someone else was using our site the first night we were here, we had them move their vehicles but they continued using our site and left their trash ( food, plastics, dog excrement). Make sure your ready to hook up your campers water and sewer ( the hook ups are sketchy but work) because the shower situation screams we prefer you to use your camper. Laundry is good, $1.25 for 28 minute wash and $1 for 50 minute dry ( The wall gives different times but its been the cheapest I've experienced). There are only 2 washers and 2 dryers, they are shared with the residence in the trailer park ( some of the nicest people I ever met). The swimming situation is a stream, please respect others campers and use the designated entrance. So many people just walked through our site then complained that my 100 lb Mastiff was minding his business in the space we paid for. There are so many bees and flys. There isn't gravel or grass, it's all dirt. Unavoidable dusty dirt. It will be in and on everything. Sand like dirt. I would not come here on a holiday weekend or when I know it's busy. We almost left because of how crowded it was the first night and everything seemed disorganized and dirty. However, the people who run the site were on top of any and everything they could be. It could use and upgrade and was definitely pricey.

Sequoia RV Ranch used to be one of our favorite spots...but now with the Airbnb on the other side if the creek , it sucks. You're far more likely to have to deal with some jerks blaring crap thumping music than have a peaceful stay. We're done here. Left our campsite early to get some peace at home. Will pass on Sequoia RV Ranch in the future. P.S...we totally get its not the RV parks fault...but we're not paying these prices for a picturesque nightmare you cant tune out. This is on the level of torture and unfair to the entire RV park.

I'd give it 4.5 if I could. It's glamping plain and simple. The airstream is very nice and comfy. The beds are great. Really should be for 2 and not more even though you can fit 4. Kids slept on the pull out couch and was a little cramped. But it is like camping. You are in a campground and you are right next to other airstreams. Shower of a little weak but overall for camping it's really nice camping ... Glamping.

AutoCamp has a great concept and the airstreams are stylish, but the overall experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. The entrance was easy to miss — not well-marked, which made arrival a bit confusing. Not a huge deal, but not a great first impression either. Once there, I quickly realized mosquitoes were going to be a problem. Even with bug spray, I got bitten a lot, which made it hard to enjoy the outdoor space. A lot of the trails that were recommended by staff or listed in the guide were closed, which was disappointing since hiking was a main reason for my trip. It would've been nice to have current info or alternative suggestions. The view also felt underwhelming — it didn’t quite match the photos or peaceful vibe I expected based on the website. They also charge an extra fee for bringing a dog, but there was nothing that actually made the place feel dog-friendly. No amenities or special touches — just the fee. The airstream itself was clean, and the staff were friendly, but overall, the stay felt more style than substance. Could be great with a few improvements.

Overall good experience. Positives: -our airstream by the river was at one of the far ends of the camp away from the ‘beach access’. This meant less people/kid traffic walking by. -the staff was very polite and helpful -free coffee and cereal at the reception area each morning is awesome. -free EV charging is a plus, given that the closest supercharger is 40min away. -airstream was clean, plenty of towels, design with huge shower/decent bedroom/adequate living&kitchen -nightly activities/entertainment offerings -pool looks well maintained and friendly to use. Possible improvements: -ac could of been turned on by cleaning staff on day of arrival, Given temps in the High 90s outside. When we arrived at 3:30pm it was 105 inside the airstream. We had the ac on for 5min and the entire area of 3 rivers lost power until 7pm. If the ac had been left on at least the inside would of held lower temp regardless of power loss. Maybe backup power for the autocamp?!? -given this was my first Autocamp experience I was surprised at the loudness of the ac in the airstream. I needed noise cancellation headphones while the ac was turned on. -I would strongly advise Autocamp to pave the car arrival and parking areas. There was so much dust in the air every time a car came and left. My car had a solid 1-2mm of dust when we departed home from the camp. I washed my car right away when I got home. Tomorrow I’ll vacuum the inside and wipe all inside surfaces. -one last note, perhaps a carwash voucher to a carwash chain? Just a thought. Would I stay again? Well, yes. My experience was overall positive and part of doing something new is adapting to new surroundings. My dog had a great time as well. The airstreams are close together but everyone seemed respectful of sound level and giving each other privacy.

Autocamp Sequoia Campground We arrived on 11th May 2025 its their new opening season The Airstream Cabin, Tent and normal cabin are all new and the facilities like the Pool, small river beach play area are all new and in very good conditions There is well prepared BBQ sets in the Airstream with a cast iron skillet for easy cooking over the fire pit Recommend going in groups or family as its fund to have bonfire , s’mores & grills

Nice and affordable place to stay in a tent for a couple of nights. Views, running river nearby, pool and other facilities as well as proximity to the Sequoia National Park make this place really good to spend some time here. The only problem you can encounter is noisy neighbors, campground declares a quiet time after 11pm but doesn’t enforce it (at least didn’t during our stay in 2019), so loud music or talks and laughing can slightly (or significantly) spoil you sleep.

UPDATE: 11/19/23 I obtained some pictures and videos of the progress made at the new camp site. I was told they will have many Airstreams hard piped, which makes them all stationary. They will also have a higher-end section with top views of the site. A 5000 sq ft club house is being built as you first drive in. I believe cabins will be built as well. You will not be able to bring your own rig. I was told the recent flooding made its way up to the old club house. The beach has a somewhat new formation. The locals are very giving with the info they received. Reservations can be made around August 2024. UPDATE: This campground was sold 3 years ago. The new owners are converting it to an RV park with 85 Airstreams to rent for $400 bucks a night. Our Campground is now gone. Decades of memories, all gone. Posted on 5/16/22 I've been coming to this resort for over 40 years. Such great memories. Now I'm bringing my grandchildren. Tile showers, pool, Wi-Fi, clubhouse, air compressor for inflatables, general store across the street, Walmart 20 minutes away, 5 minutes from town. Volleyball, horseshoes, teatherball, large areas of fescue grass, RV area, riverside camping.

First time going over father's day weekend 2020. We reserved a cabin + a camping space, the cabin was a bit small for my expectations however it did not dissapoint it had 2 queen size comfy clean beds with enough fluffy pillows, the kitchen was small but very complete with a full size fridge, kuerig coffee maker, microwave, electric stove and pots and pans, the bathroom was clean with complimentary soap and make up remover wipes. Outside there was a picnic table and small grill in case you didn't bring your own. Hot water at all times and fully stocked with towels and towelettes. A/C unit and a ceiling fan in the middle of the room, small TV with cable channels (not that it was needed with such beautiful surroundings) but very appreciated when you have small children that refuse to sleep early 😂. The camping space was specious for 2 tents, parking and eating area (grill, picnic table, fire pit) near bathrooms and river. The staff was very friendly! Not once did we encounter a rude person or a bad attitude. Small store at the front office. The river is within walking distance and the "beach" area was just perfect for the children to play! The only "cons" I could possibly think of was the pool being closed/covered our entired stay (friday-sunday) not a deal breaker since the river was so nice and so much water to play in, but I would've loved to use it maybe next time because we are definitely going back!

We got some ice cream/ yogurt and it was delicious on a very hot day. Good place to check out if you are in the area for a tasty treat. Also the back was nice with great seating and view of the river with plenty of shade.

Beautiful yoghurt ice cream, they have six or seven flavour options. It can then be personalised with the usual toppings going from fruits, candies, brownies, coconut flakes, mini cookie dough and more. They also have bubble waffle options which looked delicious. Service is great and you can find parking just outside the store.

I loved the back deck. The 3 or 4 choices of toppings. Thanks for having gummy sharks/dolphins! The place was fantastic. The only real problem is on Google's end. We found they were open till 830. At least on Fridays and Saturdays. Highly recommend will be back.

Great frozen yogurt/ice cream shop. There are so many toppings to choose from and everything is fresh. Reasonably priced, friendly staff, and a beautiful backyard patio to enjoy your frozen treats. Highly recommend anyone visiting Three Rivers to stop in.

a friend took me to this place, i’ll have to say that it’s one of good yogurt places i’ve been to. I got a vanilla oreo with bubble waffles, that waffles was absolutely delicious. they have beautiful patio view in the back as well, it’s an enjoyable scenic view.

Delicious and fun flavors, yummy bubble waffles, fast service. Will visit again!

We’ve been here twice in two days because the service is quick, prices are straightforward, and the atmosphere is really nice. We’ve been enjoying their dairy free froyo with toppings like fresh fruit, gummies, and even some cheesecake! The back patio is incredible too. It was 110 degrees so we’re didn’t stay out too long but maybe next time!

When eating here you have to account for how rustic this area actually is. The tuna melt had typical low cost "American cheese", which tastes exactly as one would expect. The breaded chicken sandwich was spicy, and quite good. The atmosphere was nice, and relaxing. What made this visit so enjoyable was our server, Brooke D. Her continuous smile was infectious. We watched her go all the serving areas like a ping pong ball helping anyone. I must note a young male employee who stood on his tippy toes to wind up the shades facing the river. He never stopped moving and working. He had an emotionless facial expression and just kept busy taking care a many, many odd tasks. He was like a perpetual movement machine. Overall this place was clean, friendly and worth a return visit..

What a fantastic patio! The setting was so charming and cozy with beautiful hanging lights and a heaters that kept us warm on a chilly evening. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. It is a bit of a drive but nothing to bad lots of good scenery and such a relaxing dinner experience. I would definitely recommend coming here on your free time!

Incredible food and place, the waiters were realy kind. Giant sequoia burger- amazing burger, juicy flavourful, filling, the fries as side were perfectly fried, well fried and crispy. The wings were so so good, crunchy crust, and juicy internaly, the buffalo sauce was on point, perfect combination of sweet and sour.

Real American Burger experience. Beautiful veranda and outside sitting with river views. We had our new born with us and staff was supportive and friendly. The Giant Sequoia Burger and the IPA were 10/10. Highly recommend!

Amazing setting! Not a bad Western Burger, But not a good one also. Tasted like a "backyard burger" quality, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but this isn't a great burger. It was $18 or so with fries, so overall a decent value still I suppose. The fries were good ~ But you come here for the views, amazing location here along the river

The food was very delicious and the staff was helpful and friendly. Ate outside with a view of the river and the fans and mist system provided a nice environment. Had the Haymaker Burger. Was impressed with size and the chili was delicious!

My typical MO is to leave favorable reviews, so I've held off for a couple of days to see if my opinion might change...but it hasn't. First, my wife did enjoy her chicken salad. Seemed to have good flavors. My burger was overcooked, dry. Same for my daughter. The fruit flavored teas had an unusual aftertaste which we couldn't pin down. We sat on the deck, looking over the river. In general, that was nice. But the litter along the bank from prior customers was noticable. A guy was smoking on the upper level, standing near a fan, which served to blow the smoke over the guests. I realize this is also a bar, but where I'm from, no smoking would be allowed. And in CA where everything causes cancer, why is it permissable to allow one person's smoking to affect the experience of others. We appreciated the 10% veteran discount. It just wasn't what we had hoped for. Hopefully some tips for the owners. Fix a couple things...

A little pricey, $34 for a 10oz New York Steak and $26 for Pork Tenderloin. However both were beautifully cooked and tasty. Unfortunately they have had their liquor license revoked, not a problem to me, but this is affecting trade and atmosphere. Server was very friendly

Seeing the 'for sale' which concerns me this place is struggling financially and will close soon. My opinion of the cleanliness and the service and very tasty, large portion sizes was outstanding. My only negative is that a slice of French toast was $6.49! Ip understand why, and that is sad. I wonder if the for sale sign AND the liquor license revocation have something to do with their perceived pending sale? I feel sad as everything here was pretty good, other than the price for French toast.

Great place with an awesome view of the river out back. I'd give them 5 stars but they don't have many gluten free options which I feel is a must these days. The food was delicious, though!

The food was delish! There was only one waitress there working tonight (we went about 2 hours before closing) she was awesome!! There were several customers there, she didn't miss a thing!! Every time our (or anyones) drink got low or if something was needed, she was quick to provide with a smile on her face. Customer service is a biggie, she made our experience worth every dollar spent!!

We were the only ones there on a Monday at 11:00. The BLT was delicious,, as was the Steak Tips breakfast , and the Steak Omelette. My hubby didn’t care for the biscuits and gravy. The fries were delicious! I didn’t like the taste of the water. No one else in our party complained about it though. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. We sat outside under shades. It was great for kids. They don’t sell alcohol FYI. Our server was very nice :)

The food here is not terrible. They have an American selection, a Mexican selection and a decent seafood selection (garlic shrimp were pretty fire). The beers are what you would expect at a bar and grill with an extended Mexican beer selection. They also seem to have some sweet cocktails for those that aren't beer fans. Even the outside set up looked pretty cool. Finally, they have a descent dessert menu. The fried ice cream was amazing. Seems great, so why the three stars? The menu was way too pricey for what you get. Over priced and the value was not there. We paid 20 bucks for a BBQ burger. 23 for half a rack of ribs that weren't even smoked. As a matter of fact we had gone to another restaurant and paid less for way more. If Cider Mill can cut their prices in half I would give them 5 stars. Right now, save your money and find a place down the road.

This place is 2 minutes from our air bnb so we were excited to try! Food was delicious and super well seasoned! Fiancé tried the chorizo omelette and I had eggs and hash brown. Coffee was smooth and delicious, we loved everything we had. Only thing is the menu is super pricy but if you want to splurge go for it! I believe we spent $50 for breakfast

Nice dining experience with a beautiful setting! The food was good - the salmon was decent and everything was prepared well, but nothing that will wow you. Solid, reliable fare without being exceptional.The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which really made the experience enjoyable. Great service that definitely adds value to the meal.The view of the river is absolutely lovely and creates such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere while you dine. The scenic location is really the highlight here.

I didn't like the strong smell of air freshener / cleaning solution in the room, and the sink was a bit clogged, but otherwise the room was the fine. I was really surprised how good the food was. I had low expectations at almost 9 pm on a Monday and sort of forced to come here. The prices looked a bit high. However, after ordering I would say they're kind of justified. All our food was tasty across the board. The pork chop was so juicy, seasoned so well, and seared just right with just the right texture to it. My seafood crepe was delicious. The baby back ribs were tender and delicious. The rice pilaf was so good with this dryish texture I like. The red snapper fillet was also cooked and seasoned well. The server Taylor was great, attentive, and a bit funny (and sounds like Norm Macdonald).

Location is great, if you manage to book a table by the river as we did the experience is quite nice :) food is good and the staff was incredible. Starting from the lady at the entrance to the gentleman who served our table everything was perfect. They both had a warm smile despite the day was incredibly busy, they were kind and welcoming. I work in the hospitality industry with Marriott (my wife as well) and we can tell the difference when we see professionals at work! Give them a raise! Thank you from Rome :)

We stayed at a Vrbo five minutes away and the owner recommended this restaurant to us. So glad he did. We had driven from San Diego and were starving by the time we arrived. Our server Taylor was absolutely awesome! The food was perfect-appetizer, meal and dessert, and the view was even better. After our day in the park the next day we were able to sneak back at the last hour of service to grab a burger. Once again, we had Taylor as our server and everything was great. Would definitely come back if we find ourselves in the area again.

We just came for food after coming out of Sequoia. Our server, Jesse, was charismatic and fun. The rest of the staff were all ready to jump in and refill anything we needed. The food definitely left something to be desired, especiallyfor the price. The ravioli had an odd taste and the marina was watery and flavorless. It was in a beautiful spot though.

Second time coming here and unfortunately both times were disappointing. The only positives are that the staff are typically nice and the view is beautiful if you’re lucky enough to be able to sit outside. Sometimes reservations are required, sometimes they aren’t. The food is nowhere near worth the price. Small portions and low quality. Over $30 for ravioli that tastes frozen, sauce that tastes canned and almost raw green beans. I can usually handle low quality food but this wasn’t easy to eat. As well as this, the place isn’t very clean. One of our glasses and spoons still had food on it and the container for the sweetener was covered in grime. I really hope something at least changes with the price. I’m sure something there could be good, but not at those prices.

Great location, but that’s where the positives end. The Gateway Restaurant and Lodge has a beautiful location right at the entrance to Sequoia National Park. You can’t beat the convenience. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience didn’t live up to the setting. Check-in was chaotic since the same register handled hotel guests, restaurant payments, and even snow-chain rentals and sales , with just one person trying to manage it all. Our room had several issues: dusty shelves, a soaked carpet under the air conditioner, and a toilet that wasn’t installed securely and wobbled. When we asked about switching rooms, we were told the lodge was fully booked. With few nearby options and the late hour, we stayed the night but we wouldn’t stay here again and can’t recommend it.
