Outrageous to call this site 'Eden'. Our site was littered with trash, dumped fridges and a large used potty seat all in view of our tent with a lot more trash, broken sheds etc when you enter into the site. We stayed for one night and then made our way into Sequoia National Park which was significantly cheaper and truly is an Eden. Our original booking was for 4 nights and the host would not refund us for the remaining 3 but thankfully Hipcamp did (thank you Hipcamp!). We would not recommend this site.

The stream in the bottom of River eden is one of the clearest, untouched pices of nature we’ve seen. Giant granite rocks creates the most amazing topography for the water to run in. Teresa and her family were very nice, invited us to have dinner with them and gave us a wonderful opportunity to get to know them a little better. That said, three things that Are important to know: the campsite is up on a steep mountain road, and all the restaurants and groceries are at the foot hill; the surface on the campsite was dusty and with a lot of dry weeds; and the acsses to the stream is a 10 minuets of going down hill in a steep , sometimes slippery trail. That didn’t prevent us from going down there and enjoying this paradise for a whole day of exploring and bathing ❤️ I would definitely recommend coming here, if you don’t mind the rough side of it and love secluded marvelous nature sites..

This place was lovely, but there are a few things people should know when booking. Follow the host's directions, or you will get lost. There are three dogs on the property, which was fine for us. They got along great with our dog and we loved them. There are also roosters, chickens, and cats. The roosters give a lovely very early morning wake up call. We didn't mind because we started our day early, but some may mind. We stayed at site 5 and were very happy with the location, especially the shade. There is a water spout at every site except the ones on the river, which is also great. We did hike down to the river. The trail could use a little clearing but it is very beautiful back there. The best part was being close to King's Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We had a great time spending our days in the parks and retreating back to our camp site. This space is definitely for more rustic campers, but would definitely recommend. Hosts were very welcoming and concerned about our experience.

We had a wonderful time with our 4 year old son camping in the shade of the trees during our stay. Teresa's family was warm and welcoming to us, and we even had an evening drumming circle with them. We didn't hike down and camp by the creek, but since we had our son we chose the sites where we could have our car near us. It still felt private. We had access to fresh mountain water and the porta potty was also nice to have available. One of their sweet cats adopted us for the stay and a chicken hung out at our camp for most of a morning. All in view of a fruit orchard and organic gardens. This was a great launching place for us into the King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, about 40 min away. Looking forward to camping there again!

Good communication with host. Camp site was lovely and near a peaceful stream. Private sites, friendly fellow campers. Quiet. Hike into camp with some evidence of property clean up, but site itself was clean. ATT cell reception does not work in this area, so communicate w host way before arriving! :)
