About
Breathtaking scenery in summer and winter alike. Visit the largest trees in the world at this national park that's filled with natural beauty. You'll feel the sense of grandeur as you walk among the giants.
Elevations range from about 1,000 to over 14,000 feet, so bundle up and bring snow chains for your car in winter. You can hike high into the wilderness, or stay in your campground for a ranger program or campfire talk.
Make sure to visit the famous General Sherman tree (and grab a photo or two). You can expect some crowds, especially during summer weekends, so start your trek early. Yes, you can drive through much of the forest—But get out and walk to really get a sense of how giant these sequoias really are.
This national park has 14 campgrounds, 6 of which are first-come, first-served. Yes, you can bring in

Holy stoke! Cali has done it again. Lower Peppermint Campground is where the term "hidden treasures" came from. Isolated in a forest of pine and oak this small campground is a gem; hit up the trail on the south side of the creek, and you'll be welcomed by a wall of cascades that'll make your dogs sigh. Hop in the granite basins along the way for y Read more...
A fishing heaven set on breathtaking Lake Isabella, Paradise Cove Campground lives up to its name and then some. Picturesque mountain scenery will have you swooning and the trout jumping! Arranged along two loops, the campground offers back-in options for some sites, and stunning lake views for everyone.
Sunrises, sunsets, and shooting stars. If these things make you smile than camping at the Oak Flat Lookout Tower could give you a perma-grin. Once you arrive you’ll be greeted to scenic vistas of the Kern River and Kern River Valley. Oh, did we mention that you’ll have to schlepp your food and water up 40 steep steps? Of course, when you’re sleepi Read more...
Wanna spend the weekend with your homies or your horses? Come to Horse Meadow Campground. This camp accommodates those that appreciate the simple things in life; vault toilets are as modern as it gets here! RVs are not recommended, but should you venture up the steep and bumpy entrance road, your RV needs to be 22 feet at max. Once you’ve got your Read more...
Located near Alder and Cedar Creeks, Alder Creek Campground is a great place for fishing and exploring the nearby sequoia groves. Bring your RV or pitch your tent, and if you forgot something (s'mores supplies), head to the nearby towns of Glennville or Wofford Heights.
Tenters rejoice! Cedar Creek Campground is rugged, mountainous, and wild. Plus, it’s totally free and one of the best places to call home during the hot summer months. Bring your fishing pole and your pan, your friends and your Frisbee, and set up camp for a few days or a week. This high-elevation campground is the place to disappear for a while.
Looking for a little R and R with your pals? On the banks of the fast-moving Kerns River, Chico Flat Campground is located on the tree-lined shores in an otherwise dry and dusty landscape. The river will keep you chill and the fabulously primitive campground will keep you wild. Free dispersed camping is allowed here for up to 14 days. Be prepared Read more...
This high-mountain campground is searching for adventurous dirt bikers to set up camp and live it up on miles of OHV trails. Could this be you? Fish Creek Campground will keep you comfy, perched above Fish Creek at 7,400 feet above sea level. The rugged trails nearby, combined with the thrill of gravity will make for an awesome weekend adventure.
The Christmas tree at Rockefeller is peanuts compared to the giant sequoia trees at Wishon Campground. Give your neck a break from staring into the canopy, as this campground lays beside two forks of the Tule River, lending itself to fishing and hiking excursions.
It’s called Redwood Meadow Campground for a reason. Set up adjacent to the Trail of 100 Giants (okay how insanely rad does that sound?) Redwood Meadow is home away from home for any tree-lover. RVs, trailers, or tents, come one come all. Get settled in and then break out the painting set or camera; you won’t be able to pass up documenting this sta Read more...
Fairview? More like FANTASTICview! Not far from the Kern River, at Fairview Campground, you are guaranteed a gorgeous view—whether it be of the river, the trails, or those amazing trees. Get settled with your RV or tent and then start enjoying nature! Don’t be afraid to take the dog, bike, and hiking boots: Fairview has direct access to scenic tra Read more...
