Glacier Lodge
3. Glacier Lodge
17mi from Bishop · 54 sites
Discover the unique charm of Glacier Lodge, established in 1917 and situated at an elevation of nearly 8,000 feet along Big Pine Creek. This historic lodge has long served as a gateway to some of the finest hiking, fishing, hunting, and climbing experiences in the country. As the new owners, we are dedicated to ensuring that your stay is tailored to your desired outdoor adventure.
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the serene silence of the mountains. Take a deep breath of the crisp mountain air, infused with the refreshing scent of pine, and let it fill your lungs. Feel the gentle breeze rustle through the trees and enjoy the coolness on your skin. The breathtaking views stretch into infinity, with majestic mountains reaching toward the clearest blue sky you’ve ever seen. If you choose to visit during the off-season, you’ll experience the invigorating chill of brisk winds and the occasional light snowfall, perfect for cozy campfires under the stars.
In 1998, a devastating electrical fire destroyed the main lodge, a significant loss for our community. However, we are excited to announce plans to rebuild the Majestic Glacier Lodge as early as 2023. In the meantime, we offer eight rustic cabins for rent, providing easy access to the stunning high country

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!

Beautiful place in a valley, sinks for washing dishes etc. Nice flat tent camping, clean bathrooms with sinks and mirrors. Tent camping across the street, big open space with right amount of trees. Great ride from the park entrance all the way in.

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.

The location was great and not crowded! The views were perfect and we were visited each evening by a family of deer which made it all the more magical! I would love to book again in the future.

I absolutely love this place! All the deer hanging around, the grass is always green and it’s so clean! This is our second year back and we plan on making it again next year! The bathrooms are super clean and there is running water! There are RV/trailer hookups as well which is nice!

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.
