Awesome free camping for Sequoia/kings canyon
Free dispersed camping in sequoia national forest. I got there at around 5 on a Sunday and quickly got a spot. There was a fire pit but also a fire band going on. No at&t cell reception which is true for most of the surrounding national forest/park land. People were listening to music but it wasn’t too loud and they stopped when it got later. No showers or anything obviously but they do have showers in the nearby parks seasonally. Great spot to use as a base for hiking, make sure to lock up your food because there is bears (though I didn’t see any).
Awesome spot!
Free dispersed camping! The site we pulled into was so big and spacious. There was a man made fire ring with plenty of log seating around it. A big boulder and a long torn down tree separated us from a heard of wild cows. It was fun to watch them. It was one of the first spots after pulling off the road so we often got cars driving thru to check out the area. It was very quiet and private. There were several other spots up the path a little more but from what we saw, we liked ours the best!
Camping among the giants
Ten mile campground was an incredible place to camp among the giants sequoia trees! There was a creek running behind our campground which was an easy (less than 10 minute) walk that had a natural rock slide into the water... perfect to cool off in. Fishing at Hume lake was relaxing. We drove to the visitor’s center for tips on the best hikes and they were very helpful. Definitely will go back!
