Other Details to Note

-No Cell Service on the mountain so please download maps prior to arriving -Camp Nelson is a rural mountain community, so we recommend gassing up and getting all groceries in Porterville prior to arriving -Access to the river from the backyard may be strenuous down a steep slope. We recommend walking down Coy Flat Drive to the bridge which is a much more gradual walk, and then navigating down towards the river.

We had a fantastic stay—peaceful surroundings, great amenities, and a strong sense of safety made it a memorable experience for our family. Chris was an excellent host, always responsive and helpful. His clear communication ensured we were well-prepared for the trip and had everything we needed throughout our stay.

We spent two nights at the Trout River Cabin and really enjoyed our time there. The cabin is tucked away in the forest, offering a peaceful and quiet setting that feels completely removed from the outside world. It’s very clean, well maintained, and well equipped with everything we needed. Being surrounded by nature up in the mountains was a real highlight—it’s a beautiful and calming place. A couple of things to keep in mind: the drive to Sequoia National Park is no less than two hours, and the road between the cabin and Springville village is a challenging 30-minute drive each way, with steep and winding sections. That said, if you’re looking for a quiet retreat in the forest, this place has a lot to offer.

A lovely cabin in the forest to spend the weekend. With fewer visitors than the Sequoia National Park, family is welcome and recommended. The hosts are very responsive and kind.

Chris was super communicative, very helpful and kind. This cabin is a hidden gem, walking distance to fish. Our family had a great time. I highly recommend this cabin for your families next getaway.

We absolutely loved staying here. It was so peaceful and welcoming. I spent every morning on the deck drinking my coffee and enjoying the sound of the river. My daughter would run outside to the tree swing first thing every day. The cabin was even better than what it looked like in the photos. The perfect getaway that we all needed. Don’t forget the bug spray though…you’ll want to be able to enjoy the outdoors

Chris and CJ are wonderful hosts and we had a great time at the cabin! If you are looking for a stay surrounded by nature and peace then this is the perfect place for that. There is plenty of things to do in and around the property (we loved the river access and the nearby soda spring).
