Tiny is located inside "Lone Pine Mobile Oasis" RV PARK, on the west side of HWY 395, and Lubken Canyon. There is Hwy noise and there are neighbors. Semi's do drive the Hwy during the night. Please preview location before booking. We do have WIFI!

Our home is only 16' long (8'x16') but has a well-equipped kitchenette, full bath with a shower and a conventional toilet.
The kitchenette has the basics and then some... a coffee maker, a portable induction cook top, pots and pans, cooking utensils, basic spices and condiments. It also has a Britta water pitcher/ filter for your convenience!
The living / sleeping space is a twin size sofa / daybed with a pull out trundle. The foam mattress size is 38" x 75" for both beds. The top mattress is 8" thick with a weight capacity of 400 lbs and the trundle is 6" thick with a weight capacity of 250 lbs. This may not have enough support or may be uncomfortable for some.

TINY only has 50 amps of power and the on demand water heater requires 50 amps. Only 2 lights are able to be used while taking a hot shower. THE BREAKER MAY SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NEED TO BE RESET. (This has not happened in over a year but, just in case)
CAUTION: Things appear smaller than they feel like inside!
Driving up you may think, "OMG, it's so small", but after you step inside, you will hopefully feel, "WOW, it feels bigger than it looks".
The 395 highway may be too close and light sleepers may feel it is still too noisy. Please do not book and leave a bad review if this would bother you.

We enjoyed the quiet camp ground as we were the only campers there. Nice to have water and sewer hook ups and flush toilets. Could use a little maintenance and cleaning. The location is good for the parks. Our 27 ft trailer worked ok in the space. It’s a camp ground no lodge.

We loved our time here. I recommend one of the group sites if you’ll be tent camping. More room for activities and some of them come with a covered area over the provided table. The bathrooms were clean and the sinks near the camping area was a nice plus!

This campground is in an amazing spot on your way down into Kings Canyon. It’s right off of the road near a “caution ice cream ahead” sign.
We stayed in our RV and didn’t use any bathrooms, sinks or anything like that so I can’t speak to those, but it did the job, which was provided us somewhat close campsite to the Roads End lot & hiking area; I highly recommend the Mist Trail btw.
Also, I would recommend the campsites that are across the street (same campground), I think it was sites 6-9. We walked over to check out the river, but didn’t want to get into anyone else’s campsite. Site 5 isn’t my favorite as it is right next to the road & I woke up to cars driving by.
Only drawback were the trash cans. They weren’t animal/bear safe, and there was trash on the ground surrounding the trash cans, which we chalked up to animals in the area.
I would recommend & stay again. Also, I appreciated the Wi-Fi in an area that has no cell signal.

We had such a wonderful stay! This camping spot is perfect for couples — peaceful, private, and surrounded by water hook-up from all around the site. We loved being able to relax in our tent, enjoying the scenery. Toilets are nearby and made the stay even more comfortable. It would’ve been nice if there's shower rooms, but honestly, we’re not complaining — everything else was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great experience at Kings Canyon RV Resort! The instructions were clear, and the area was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect, and we loved seeing the wildlife that came right up to our camper—it made the trip even more special. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely be back!

Had the most amazing time! Close to the bathroom which was a great surprise as it looks like a port-a potty but is a clean flushable toilet. Site 9 is quiet and private and has an easy access to the River. The water was cool and refreshing after some long days hiking. Definitely a hidden gem and one I’ll be returning to.

Lovely quiet spot nestled in the canyon. Not convenient but definitely worth the winding drive. Nice bathroom facilities (no showers, but flushing toilets) and just the right size to keep things intimate and manageable. Really loved it. Thanks for the great location!

Great little quiet campsite at the top of King’s Canyon. The host was friendly and informative. You can buy drinks, coffee, and ice cream at the stand there as well as gas which is very limited in the 2 parks.. Bathrooms were clean and sites had picnic tables and fire pits. I would definitely use this site again.

Everything about this spot is perfect if you love peace and quiet. This was our second trip here and the host had added more bathrooms and sinks to clean up your kitchen kits. I cannot recommend this spot more. If you have a hankering for some ice cream this place has it! Gas, wood, and ice available at this spot too 🏕️ it also has a private river spot to relax and cool off.

Camping near Big Pine guide
Where to go
The Mojave Desert
Big Pine is within easy reach of the Mojave Desert, which has a number of fantastic protected areas. These include Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and the Mojave National Preserve.
Los Angeles County
If you need a little Southern California beach time, the Los Angeles County coastline is within day-tripping distance away. If you want to stay the night, Malibu and the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area offer plenty of camping options.
The Southern Sierras
A short drive southwest of Big Pine, the southern Sierra Nevada range is a great place to camp, swim, and hike, especially in the summer months. The star attraction, Sequoia National Forest is home to 38 different groves of sequoia trees plus ample opportunities for camping and backpacking.
When to go
Temperatures vary greatly in Big Pine, with cold and snowy winters and oftentimes sweltering summers. It's definitely a summer destination, particularly if you're planning on camping, though the weather is usually warm and dry enough during the April-May and September-October shoulder seasons. If you do decide to visit in late summer or early fall, you may not be allowed to have a campfire, as fire bans are common during the wildfire season.
