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.

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!

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.

The best camping near Big Pine with campfires 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.
