Alder Creek Campground - Tentatively closed for 2022

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Fishing enthusiasts may find limited creek access at this Forest Service campground, as seasonal water flow affects availability. Located 15 minutes down a dirt road from Highway 155, Alder Creek Campground sits at a lower elevation than the main highway and accommodates RVs up to 20 feet. The remote location provides considerable privacy, with campers noting it receives less traffic than other area campgrounds.

Summer conditions bring significant dryness and fire restrictions, making shaded sites essential for comfort. The first three campsites offer convenient access to two vault toilets, while sites further back require longer walks to facilities. Campers can explore pet-friendly sites around Sequoia National Forest for additional options in the region. The campground's hidden location off Highway 155 makes it a solid choice for those seeking a primitive camping experience away from crowds.

Secluded sites

You won’t get lost if you use the app called “WAZE”. Address on WAZE app is, “ Forest Rte 25S04 “ It’s a maps app just like Apple Maps. The app works even when you lose signal! It will take you right to the camp sites if you start the destination while you have signal. If you drive a bit further up the service road, you’ll find some really nice shaded, flat sites. If you want to have music playing loud all night and not have the neighbors complain, this is the spot for you! Hope you enjoy as much as I did! P.S. this hidden gem is as clean as it gets so keep it that way! Always pick up after yourselves.

This is in Seqouia national forest not Los Padres 

This camp is pretty hidden. If you're coming from glennville it's the first camp you will run into. There is a turn off with a stop sign facing the outgoing traffic so look out for it in your right hand side.

When you finally turn on you will follow the dirt road for 15 minutes and you will be going down in elevation from where you started at highway 155. This camp gets very dry during the summer so pick your spot wisely because shade is a must. The dryness of the area also causes for some pretty heavy fire restrictions. There is a lot of mention on most websites about fishing in the creek but during my visit I didn't see one. It could be a seasonal thing but I'm not sure. The first 3 campsites have 2 vault toilets close by so you can always feel a little bit of comfort. If you pass those sites and continue to the next you are looking at either hiking to the vault or digging a hole. My stay and this campground was nice over all and it has way more privacy than Cedar creek. It's not a frequently used campground because of how hidden it is. if your looking for a promitive campground this is the one for you.
