    Sequoia Mountain Farms

    Peaceful Spot in a Rural Setting

    This beautiful site is geared more for tent camping. There are two RV spots with water & power hook ups but those are really tight, right next to the road for easy access. The RV sites don’t have the gorgeous views the tent sites have. Beautiful rolling hills, a small pond, and big trees create a nice athmosphere, and it is nice to walk around the campsite with dogs. This location is really close to the King’s Canyon NP entrance. Overall good but would not stay here with an RV.

    Sequoia RV Ranch

    Beautiful & Quiet

    Beautiful and well kept campground. Also loved the fact that loud music is not allowed. The sites by the river are amazing. There is also a really nice, large, and clean dog park! Will stay here again!

    Balch Park Campground

    Fantastic Family Campground

    This is a historic campground. With 1000 year old trees and history of logging. Good fishing and hiking all around the area. Nice hosts and most people are respectful of the area.

    Princess

    one of my all time favorites

    pitch your tent in a beautiful grove of sequoias - including the massive stumps left over from fallen giants - on the edge of a meadow filled with lupine, aspen, and a sweet little creek. took a chance on the rare possibility of a cancellation and it somehow paid off. hosts keep the facilities super clean, it's quiet at night even with a full campground, and the stargazing is incredible. smells amazing, too. definitely the princess of all campgrounds. in close range to hume lake for swimming and general grant village for phone service, food, and supplies.

    Tuttle Creek Campground — Alabama Hills

    Scenic but misleading

    Labor day weekend and half the campground is closed, water faucets are locked, and dump station is closed. We specifically chose this campground for the convenience of water and dump station. Otherwise, the sites are spread apart and the scenery is beautiful.

    Sequoia Boondock

    Beautiful location

    Beautiful, quiet & remote location! Very limited and spotty cell service so difficult to pin exactly. Coming off the General Highway at Forest Rt 14S29 keep going along the paved road until it ends and you’ll find it (about 2 or 3 miles) Campfire stones rings available. Unfortunately previously campers didn’t respect the area and we had to pick up a bit of litter. There were also some signs of bear activity (bags clawed through) but we didn’t see any (unfortunately)… room for about 4 sites but we went mid Aug and we’re the only ones there!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for something quiet and off the beaten track.
