Stony Creek Lodge is in a favorable location on the edge of Sequoia National Park. The location saves significant driving time leaving the park to find better lodging. Otherwise, it is an old, rustic property with paper thin walls and limited food offerings of poor quality.

If you are lucky enough to find accommodations within the park, I would take it despite the high prices. I have stayed both inside the park and outside the park and it’s not worth the extra two hours round-trip driving if you stay outside the park. Staff was always super friendly. There’s even a convenient gas station at the hotel. Sure, it is overpriced but the convenience makes it worth it

Comfortable stay at the park

Nice stay in the park. One drawback is you have to drive elsewhere for dinner on some nights and the roads are along the mountain. When we stayed, the restaurant was closed Wednesdays and Tuesdays. Breakfast was hot and tasty and available every day.

The room smelt heavily of cleaner fluids, even while leaving all the windows open. Other than that, we loved the convenience of the location in Sequoia National Forest in between Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

We enjoyed staying “in” the park. The lodge was quiet at night. We could see so many stars! No AC, but ceiling fan and a fan were provided. The room was clean, but there was a strong, unpleasant odor from the cleaning solutions I guess? If you stay in a National Park, this was just right.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They tried very hard to accommodate us. Was difficult due to the fire from the prior year. However, I would return based upon the service and friendliness of the staff.
