Mark’s Olives & Oaks campground was great! We stayed for one night but it was exactly what we needed on our way to Sequoia National Park. My daughter enjoyed all the animals. The portable toilets were clean and it was nice having a sink for our dishes. I would recommend it.
We had a great stay in the glamping tent! It is exactly as pictured. Cute and comfy, very private! We loved the serenity of the location and seeing the animals. Oliver, the sweet kitty, hung out with us while we played card games and chatted under the stars! Thanks for a great experience!
We stayed here overnight to get an early start up to the Sequoias. It was a comfortable and private space to set up a tent. The hosts greeted us and gave us the basics on where to find everything, including the porta potties which are not too far from the camp area. My nieces enjoyed the local stray cat and the chickens. We woke up to the roosters crowing which was ok with me as we wanted to get an early start. Although it was hot during the day, it was in the '60s at night during this time frame and it was very comfortable. The town itself is very small but Porterville is not too far away to…
We had everything we needed! Highlights included the extremely friendly farm cat, making friends with the sheep, bats silhouetted against the sunset hunting insects, and seeing shooting stars despite a nearly full moon. Nearby Slick Rock Recreation area is our favorite place to swim when the water level is low in the heat of late summer. It's also a very short drive to Sequoia and another favorite spot, Hospital Rock with ancient petroglyphs and beautiful waterfall. Only downsde was a very loud industrial noise that went on and on Monday morning that woke us up at 2:30am and made it difficu…
Mark was a very responsive and kind host and also has a very beautiful property. My bestie and I booked a glamping experience and we both had a great time. Neighboring guests who were in tents were also respectful during the quiet hours. So we both were very well rested coming from our trip in Sequioa National Park. Animals on the property were kind too and didn’t bother us. The glamping site was also very clean and cozy. I’d definitely do it again. Sad to have only done it overnight. Still a very affordable option and a convenience if traveling to and from both Sequioa and Kings Canyon Nat…
