"Azalea CG was a great home base for driving down into Kings Canyon, taking a day trip to Hume Lake, going down to see the Giant Sequoias, and walking to nearby big tree groves."
"Easy walk to campstore, post office, restaurant, and visitor center. Many trails close by. Very busy in summer. No reservations. Tent only loops available."
$34 - $72 / night
"Campsites are spread out nicely, access to bear boxes, dumpsters, and bathrooms are easy. There is 0 cell service at this site, I only had access to WiFi at Grant Welcome center, about 20 min away."
"Ever since staying in Hume Lake I’ve wanted to go back! Our spot was private enough, at least it felt like it being so close to the lake and amongst the trees."
$32 / night
"If you’re looking to camp in California, Sequoia National Park should be one of your top destinations. They have cabin and tent camping. I have stayed in both."
"I like lodgepole campground for the summer because elevation is high enough it does not get too warm and Hume lake is a short drive to some great trout fishing."
$34 - $72 / night
"This campground sits in Sequoia National Forest and is not too far from Hume Lake (also in the Forest). There are three loops with reservable sites, and there are about 20 tent only sites."
"Clean, quite, and right below Hume lake. Awesome walking trail right outside of camp through a beautiful meadow."
$32 - $60 / night
"We reserved two sites next to each other (sites 77 & 78) so we had plenty of space. I have to say this is a very busy campground because it is in a rather popular park (King’s Canyon NP)."
"Great location, centrally located for exploring both Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.
Nicely shaded spots and the higher elevation is nice for cooler nights during the hot summer months."
"I visited both parks and needed a place to sleep in my car, I had seen this spot on this site before so I looked and found it, it’s a dirt road but my matrix did fine driving through."
"Also a quick walk to the Chicago Stump which is a must see."
$34 - $36 / night
"So I chose this one because it has a nice stream nearby, it's so nice to camp near water. It was sparsely crowded, very quiet."
"We were able to tuck our tent back by some shaded trees and directly behind our site was Stoney Creek. There were lots of areas to swim and wade which was helpful with the warm weather."
"Nice quiet spot right outside the park!"
$32 - $80 / night
"The only thing negative I could say about this campground is that a lot of the campsites are very close to each other. But if you choose wisely, as my friend and I did, then I have no complaints."
"It was also very close proximity to pretty much everything. We did a lot of driving around."
$34 - $72 / night
"You have access to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park, Hume Lake and other great areas. There is fishing as well as great fly fishing"
"They have a nice open meadow to view stars at just outside of the campground. The camp host is nice and polite and very helpful."
TravelerThis was a truly amazing spot. The sweeping mountain views on each side, along with direct creek access was great. It was mid July and 105 degrees in Big Pine when we left the 395 highway, but temps had dropped to 88 by the time we got up to the campground due to elevation change, so it is a great way to escape the heat if it is a hot day.
We stayed in site #17, which had the river rolling right by the picnic table. Sites 16 - 19 all had good water access, and I'm pretty sure a lot of the sites in the upper loop could access the river too (didn't get a chance to check it out in person though).
The road getting up is steep, narrow, and climbs almost 3500 feet over the course of 7 miles. If you are towing a trailer or driving a big rig get ready to burn some gas, and make sure you have solid brakes for the way down. No guard rails, so a few of the places I was white knuckling it just towing our small 22 foot travel trailer. Definitely still worth it, just something to keep in mind. Not all of the sites will fit an RV either, so pay close attention to the lengths when reserving.
Despite the challenges getting up there, this is still one of the best places to camp in the area, would highly recommend.
RangerI backpacked here and it was amazing. Absolutely beautiful views and scenery, but need to be in way better shape than I was as the hike goes from 8,000 feet to 11,000 feet over 6 miles. Make sure you are in shape for it before starting. Also, we went in November and unexpectedly got snowed on, so the weather is unpredictable! Make sure to come prepared. There was a bathroom.
ScoutTook a right off the main road (Rd 180) where you see signs for the Chicago stump. Took the road a little bit further than the pinpoint where there was a split and took a left. About 200 feet further a little area that you can pull off. I’m driving a 170 wheelbase extended Sprinter and had a little difficulty to get in. Anything larger will be difficult. But great spot.
TravelerNeeded a place to sleep for the night on my way home from Yellowstone. This was a nice quiet place. I don’t think it’s a spot to spend extended time at unless you are venturing out to the surrounding area or for Mt. Whitney. But it was cool. The creek running through it provided nice background noise while you slept. Plenty of stores and places to eat near by if you need them. I’d stay again if passing through.
ScoutDO NOT STAY HERE. We woke up to cockroaches in our tent. I was willing to let go the conditions of the KOA. The bathrooms need major updating. The playground is a couple swings and a kiddie slide, the pool was dirty, ants and flies all over everything. The smell of the nearly cow pasture. I could let that all go and think, well KOA sure has lowered their standard. But the wake up with cockroaches. Nope. They have to know this is an issue and are doing nothing to control the problem. If you’re thinking of staying here because you assume it’ll be quality because it has the KOA standard, don’t. This does not live up to any standard.
GuideI took a left turn on a forest road and parked on a boulder. It's a solid, peaceful place.
TravelerLoved this campground. There are no showers, but we went for a swim in Lake Hume (20 min drive) every day! The campground is situated between Sequoia and Kings Canyon so for us that was perfect. The sites were specious but there were a few groups around us that could sometimes be loud. Overall great experience and would come back again.
GuideI’ve camped here before, but not since it has been taken over by the BackCountry horsemen - San Joaquin Sierra unit. My daughter and I took our two younger horses - the corrals are clean and perfect. There were four trailers already there, but we found a fantastic back in spot that fit my travel trailer truck and her truck and horse trailer. Jack was the camp host this week. He came to visit and explain the process. This is donations only. There is a creek nearby to draw water for the horses but the horses can’t go into the creek. The bathroom is very clean. No running water or electricity so you need to be fully self contained. If you plan on having any type of fire - you need a permit. If you don’t get one prior to arriving the camp host can help you. We had a great two days - other than the mosquitos that wanted to carry us away.
LegendGreat spot to spend the night before your climb, sites fairly level but getting to it is a good climb for your vehicle. Whitney Portal open during Summer months with store and restaurant, sites very close but overall canyon is a bit narrow so real estate limited.
