Balch Park / Mountain Home State Demonstration Forest, California / A RV & Tent Campground Fav!

Balch Park in Mountain Home State Demonstration Forest in California's Western Sierras is GORGEOUS! We loved everything about it. The Sequoias, the fishing ponds, the campsites, the quiet, the camphost, the rangers, the hikes, being super dog friendly and even that snow! It is a great tent campground, but good for smaller RVs as well. We towed our 16' Scamp up the South road with our Xterra - a bit dicey in spots, so recommend the North road for towing a trailer or if you have an RV. All dry camping, but worth that drive!

I grew up in Porterville, CA and Balch park is my favorite getaway.

We loved it there! But obviously haven’t been there in forever - this is an ancient video!

There's also a redwood up there that has a large room carved in it with steps carved leading up, which was done in the early 1900's before there were rangers to tell you not to hollow out huge trees. Tree is still growing happily, though. I've sat inside that tree with ten people and meditated.

I remember going inside a tree with a room - must be the same one! It's an amazing place. Thanks for watching!

If you just want to see Sequoias & you don't want crowds this is the place to do it. Not only did we find a camping space on a Saturday afternoon in mid July,but we actually got to camp inside of a Sequoia grove which you can't do in the National parks!

+noneof yourbusines Quite the amazing place! Nice camp host, nice rangers, dog was able to go on hikes (never in a National Park!) and super laid back without a bunch of rules and regulations. Everyone was nice and friendly. The trees - amazing!
