(15)
47mi from Sugarloaf Mountain Park · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to your gateway to the wild! Nestled in the heart of Three Rivers, our private camp spot offers a peaceful retreat just minutes from the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Set near the North Fork of the Kaweah River, you’ll fall asleep to the sounds of flowing water and wake up to birdsong and mountain air. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, this is your perfect basecamp. Spend your days exploring the park’s world-famous giant sequoias, swimming in crystal-clear river pools, hiking scenic trails, or just unwinding under the stars by your campsite. The site is tucked away in a quiet corner of our property, offering a blend of natural beauty and simple comfort. Expect clear night skies, mountain views, and the kind of serenity only the Sierra foothills can offer. You’ll have easy access to town for supplies or a bite to eat, but once you’re back at camp, you’ll feel miles away from everything. Ideal for tent campers or vanlifers looking for a peaceful, well-located spot to recharge and reconnect with nature. Includes WiFi
