About

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
Overview
Moraine Campground in Cedar Grove is nestled in the stunning Kings Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the United States. With the sound of the Kings River, and glowing mountainsides just beyond the trees, Moraine Campground is a wonderful place for families to spend time in the great outdoors.
Recreation
Cedar Grove provides a plethora of hiking trails, from the hiking newcomer to the avid backpacker, and everyone in between. Day hikers can hike to Mist Falls, Cedar Grove Overlook, around the peaceful Kanawyer Loop along the Kings River, through Zumwalt Meadow, and more. Visitors can also fish for trout in the Kings River, or take a scenic horseback ride through the canyon with the Cedar Grove Pack Station.
Facilities
Each site in Moraine Campground provides a fire ring, picnic table and large bear-proof food storage box. The roads through Moraine Campground are paved, making it easier for both RVs and smaller cars to access the campground. There are five comfort stations throughout the campground, all with flush toilets, a large sink for dish-washing, and drinking water. The Cedar Grove Visitor Center is located .75 miles outside Moraine Campground, and Cedar Grove Village is nearby and offers a convenience store, gift shop, snack bar, hotel, showers and laundry.
Natural Features
Tall granite mountainsides cradle the south fork of the Kings River, as streams and creeks feed the river with snowmelt from higher elevations. Abundant wildlife roam through the tall ponderosa pine and incense cedar trees, meadows and along riversides. Hikes into the backcountry out of Cedar Grove will give visitors an ever deeper understanding of the beauty and uniqueness of Kings Canyon National Park.

Full of families and close drive to trails
We arrived Fourth of July weekend and the drive down to the campground is absolutely stunning! We stayed at site 120 which was very spacious and partially shaded. The river was a lot lower than I have seen the past few times I have been here 4 years ago. Therefore there was a lot of people playing in the river. There are flushable toilets at the campground but no electricity so bring your flashlights. This campground is located towards the end of the road and it’s a great location being close to roaring river trailhead and zumwalt meadows and roads end trail. Cedar grove is just a few minutes away where you can get some groceries or little souvenirs. The campground was extremely packed and filled with families. For campers looking for peaceful camping I do not recommend this campground. But since I have a new son whose 9 months old, I was fine with the noise. Quiet hours were respected and that’s the most important part. I loved the location of the campground as you look around you are surrounded by beauty and you’re right in the canyon!

Bring your friends, everyone else does
A party place in mid august. Lots of louder groups that were up late into the night.
Site 84 was technically approved for a trailer over 10 feet, but a serious squeeze to get our trailer and explorer to fit within the lines.
Some restrooms were closed, and the open ones were very crowded at night. No lights in the bathrooms.
Beautiful views, scenic byway and river driving in and around the campground.

Sunny and mountainous
Higher up on the bluff ( or moraine, which is a rock outcropping) this campsite is more sunny and higher elevation from the river. It has later sites which are probably more suited to larger RVs. The asphalt has been updated more recently.
There are flush toilets and water spigots spread throughout the campsites.
This camp area is the farthest from the rangers station and the general store.
