Fine safe spot
We stayed here in October 2023 for our first night in the forest, we stayed at a place near the main road since we arrived late in the night. More place are further the road. It was a safe fine spot with a nice morning view over the canyon.

Great camp
We had a problem to find this place. You have to turn onto the road 13s03 direction Chicago stump
could not find it
the coordinates didn't lead me there
Solid spot in a pinch
It’s a great spot considering it’s inside the parks. Had a little trouble pinpointing exactly where it was even with the coordinates but once I found it and set up it was a nice quiet camp spot.

Good dispersed camping, big enough for an RV
I was directed to these sites by a park ranger when all the campgrounds in the national parks were full. Great sites, with the first being big enough for a small RV. Also a quick walk to the Chicago Stump which is a must see.

Nice dispersed camping, big enough for an RV
Super convenient free camping between Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks. A park ranger directed me here when all the campgrounds in the park were full. There are sites all along the road, but the first at the junction is great and big enough for a small RV. Also a quick walk to the Chicago Stump which is a must see.
Good camping if you don’t mind roughing it.
This is a good spot if you go deer hunting or like roughing it.

Good if you didn’t have a camping reservation in Sequoia...
Nice open spaces with tree cover near Hume Lake off the 180. This is a dispersed camping and OHV staging area that is first come first served for camping. Great for those who are backpacking and need a free place to camp before heading off into the Sierras! Most Parks have “backpacker camps” which allow you to camp 1 night before or after a backpacking trip, but Sequoia does not. This dispersed camping area is perfect for staging your next big hike, or simply camping for free in one of the most popular National Parks.
