Lemon Cove Village RV Park

We lodged for three nights, using it as a basecamp to explore Sequoia National Park, just a 20-225 minute drive away. Check-in at 3pm was swift and hassle-free, and we were promptly guided to our pull-in site. The grounds were impeccably clean, although the pool was closed for the season. We opted not to use any of the facilities. Our site 5 was great. the breathtaking mountain views compensated for it. the location was fantastic and remarkably peaceful. we would gladly stay again and wholeheartedly recommend it.

We stayed for 3 nights and used as basecamp to visit Sequoia National Park, which was about 20-25 minute drive. Checkin was at 3pm and was quick and easy. We were escorted to our pull-in site. The grounds were very clean. Pool was closed for the season. We did not use any of the facilities. Sites were close together so no privacy. Some full time residents. Beautiful Mountain Views. My only complaints really were narrow site, our door pretty much opened to the neighbors septic hookup, which is where the picnic table was located. We didn’t put out our awning or sit outside. Neighbor was a smoker so we had to keep our windows closed. Other than that, it really is a great location and it’s pretty quiet. We would definitely stay again and do recommend.

I was in the area for six nights due to family probate issues.

This park served me well from a location perspective. It is quiet, orderly and clean. People are friendly. It felt pricey to me but it is close to Sequoia NP and this is 2021 so I understand how such a basic park can charge so much.

HOWEVER, STAY AWAY FROM SITE 27.

The RV gravel pad is level enough to get a motorhome level. But the rest of the site is a side hill. This is the first time I have ever paid for a site at which there wasn't enough levelness to use the RV rug or camp chairs, let alone a grill. The picnic table was tucked away from the pad, next to the next site because that's where it was most level. But it wasn't level there either! The table was sloping in two directions.

Bottom line: decent park. Pricey for what you get. And Site 27 is way overpriced for what you get.

Start with the good: the scenery is beautiful, sites are not right on top of each other, relatively close to Sequoia and Kings Canyon, good dog park. Most sites had a tree or two for shade.

Not so good: overpriced (even for what you get), if there was availability closer to Sequoia, we wouldn't stay here again. We paid $78 a night while another couple we talked to was paying $40. We noted in our reservations that we have Good Sam's (which there is supposed to be a discount for). We got in late but I called ahead and it wasn't a problem and they didn't mention anything special we needed to do even after I asked. Then the next day we went to Sequoia early (before the office opened) and we didn't get back until after closing for the office. I went in the following day (early on Monday) and they said since they had already charged our card (for the full price) there was nothing they could do to give us our discount. I also asked if I could print one page out on their printer, they said no (which wasn't totally unexpected) but there was no help in where I could find a place. They were out of quarters when I needed to do laundry. 2 of the 3 washers you could only fill half way bc they didn't drain if you filled them all the way. Our site was very sloped and every one of us (5) fell down the rocks on the slope and scraped our legs. The water pressure is not good. The power turned off and on again every morning around 6am (which filled our GFI and turned off our fridge). From our spot (27) you could hear the highway.

We have stayed here three nights in a 30amp partial hookup site. The one star rating comes from the underhanded tactics used by management to bilk their customers of even more money. Yesterday we arrived back at the campground after a long day in the National Parks and headed right to the dump station. (We travel in a class B van so we have rather small tanks.) Imagine our surprise when we pulled up and started to get things out to dump that we found a lock on the dump receptacle! Now this was after office hours so there was nothing we could do. Today we learned that you must pay $15 per use for the privilege of using the dump station. That is on top of your site fee (not the cheapest). I inquired “you make registered campers pay a fee?”. Yes. Just to be sure I didn’t miss anything I check their website again and there is no mention of the fee, just advertised that they have a dump station. I also checked the email confirmation as well as the check in materials provided and again no mention of a fee. This strikes us as extremely odd, having stayed at several hundred campgrounds around the country this is the first time we’ve encountered a fee for registered campers to use the dump station. If you are going to charge an unusual fee it should be noted on the website. Other than being unexpectedly stuck with mostly full tanks the park is fine. Nothing to write home about. But buyer beware of the dump station. I wrote the owner an email first but the reply was simply that there is a fee to use the dump station.

The campground is small with gravel sites and vehicle parking on the side of your rig. The grounds are well kept. We camped in a 41’ fifth wheel. Upon arrival we were very disappointed in a $25.00 charge because we arrived before 3:00! We stayed in Bakersfield, CA and had to check out at 11:00. We took our time but still arrived at 12:40. This campground also has a checkout at 11:00 with a &40.00 charge for late checkout. They said we could sit in the parking lot for 2 1/2 hours even though our site was checked and empty. We are full timers and have never been penalized for being early, we will not be back. They also did not ask if we were Good Sams members - obviously they are more concerned with making money then customer service.
