1 million acres and drops from high alpine ridges down to lower foothills, supporting more than 30 groves of giant sequoias on its lower slopes. Paradise Cove makes a practical base for exploring those groves and the Trail of a Hundred Giants in the Giant Sequoia National Monument, as well as taking advantage of the forest's biking and hiking routes, horse camping and horseback riding opportunities, interpretive programs, and designated off-highway vehicle areas; there are also options for overnight stays at fire lookouts and cabins elsewhere in the forest.

“The location is beautiful. This is a great spot to go spend time by the water, just relax with Mountain View’s. Cons: There are lots of big ants during this time of the year (July) and it was very windy at night. Over all the experience was lovely. ”
“Bad toilette and the men there would me cash again after online pay”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,771 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
