Camp Hye Sierra

Beautiful! Came after a rain storm and were the only people there. It was cold but felt amazing especially after closing in summer. Set up under the overhang and it was awesome. Nice and out of the way from everybody at the national parks. But it is still close enough to spend all day and explore both parks. Plenty to do and not too far from a gas station and some cool coffee spots. Will definitely be back again

Great private site, quiet, lakeside

Tent · Group trip ·

Awesome private getaway just off the main road and 10 miles away from the Kings Canyon visitors center. We had a large group (9 adults and 10 kids) and we were situated right in front of the lake wheee the kids had a blast on the canoes and fished from the pier. We woke up to deer grazing in the field and turkeys later in the day. There were also some dairy cows from the ranch close by but they didn’t come back after the second night. This site has real bathrooms and showers with electricity to recharge electronics. Thanks to Chris for keeping the grounds clean and cows at bay! Highly recommend Hye Camp!

Camp Hye Sierra is a classic summer camp setting, usually used for long kids’ camps. Our spot was by one of the lakes, with paddle boats, a boathouse with running water and flush toilets, and an arbor that came in handy during an unseasonal rainstorm. We were the only campers, so we had our choice of space. If it were busy, finding a flat tent spot could be harder. The area is remote, quiet, and private — you can almost hear echoes of past camp life. The only downside was a large number of wasps.

Tent camping lakeside was perfect. Location was great too. Very close to the General Grant entrance of Kings Canyon. Plenty of amenities available. Went out in a canoe multiple times. Kids fished off the dock and had some pretty good luck. We all enjoyed swims in the lake. Plenty of firewood at the communal fire pit. Flushing toilets and running water was nice. The bathroom did have a lot of dead bugs, but were great once cleaned. Trash cans emptied regularly. Chris was our on-property point of contact. He was super helpful and responsive.

Great place; Chris and Tony were helpful and friendly; drive in from the main road is safe but one should be extra careful; restrooms clean and complete with paper towels and hand soaps; kids and adults loved the lake and canoes; life vests available for sizes S to XXL; saw a deer and a fox

Summer camp

Tent · With kids ·

Our family enjoyed camping here for 3 nights and 4 days. The property is off the main highway on the way to Sequoia National Park, and although the road is a little windy and mostly a one-lane, it is paved. Cell service is spotty and mostly places nonexistent. We called before to notify the property manager and he gave us directions on how to get there. Upon arrival we had little help from the manager but took it upon ourselves to just figure it out. The photos on Hipcamp are a bit deceiving. The pavilion is right next to the lakeside camp area, the bathrooms and the basketball court, soccer field are walking distance. The pond is catch and release (the fish like worms!) so bring your rods. It’s pretty murky and I wouldn’t swim in it though. But he did say it’s tested monthly. Pros: hot water in bathrooms, water bottle filling station, wood provided for fire pit Cons: bullfrogs are LOUD at night and kept us awake (bring ear plugs), minimal guidance from property management Overall: we enjoyed our stay. It’s basically an Armenian Church Camp during the mid-summer months and they must rent out camp space the remaining weeks. The property manager is more like a groundskeeper but everything was easy to manage and figure out. Other notes: we saw glow worms by the fire pit! They must get fireflies later in the season. It seems like there is no designation between lakeside 1, 2 vista 1, 2. You just find a spot and camp there.

This campsite was BEAUTIFUL!!! Took my lovely gf there for her birthday and it was AMAZING. Chris was so nice and hospitable. He was so kind to let me borrow a couple of fishing rods and some tackle since I didn’t bring my own. Because of that I was able to teach my gf how to fish for her birthday and she absolutely LOVED it!! We took the boat out and caught plenty of bass. It was a great time!

We enjoyed camping here. Getting there with the given directions was simple during the day. On the drive in, our route had a sharp left turn which could be easy to miss if you're driving quickly. The road in is rocky and allows for one car. The facilities were clean and available. We were the only ones during our stay, so we didn't have any issues of privacy. There was one restroom building with men's and women's restrooms. One shower stand with two heads. Chris mentioned the water heater was in the attic, so hot water may take a bit to reach the showers (but we didn't end up showering). The faucets had hot water though. There was only one row boat during our stay, but it was nice to have to get on the lake. The pavillion was great to have! String lights are already hung there, and you just have to plug it in. There were outlets on a couple of the columns. There was one large firepit at the amphitheater area. We had a small fire the first night and just sat on the edge of the pit. The second night we had a larger fire and had room to arrange our chairs around it. Chris, our host, was friendly and reachable whenever we needed. Overall a great camping experience!

Really beautiful campsite with a nice covered seating area lit with fairy lights. The toilets were clean and there was a water fountain for drinking / filling up bottles. The road up to the campsite is a steep, single track road - avoid arriving after sunset as it’s a difficult drive.

Hye Camp was beautiful! We absolutely loved it and kids had a blast. We set up our tents at lakeside and the views were great. Bathrooms, soccer field, basketball court, and both ponds were very close and an easy walk. Like listed in other reviews the bathrooms were very clean. Both ponds were stocked with fish. Our camp had caught about 12, all of which were Bass and 1 Bluegill. We had a great time.

Camp Hye Sierra was awesome! Restrooms were very clean, soccer field/basket ball court was an easy walk away from the lake where we had set up our tents, lots of wildlife, and good fishing ponds. All together our camp had caught about 12 fish; all of which was Bass and 1 Blue Gill. The kids loved it and we would definitely recommend.

It was our first time here, we did tent camping on Lakeside 2. Since it's a weekday, we had the whole place by ourselves 😀 We tried this out for a possible site for our church camping, it's perfect for a big group, and would work for single families too. The drive is ok, we were instructed to use google map and it was on point. The last maybe 15-20 is very windy road, 3000+ ft elevation next to the cliff, most without barriers. The last 5min you take this sharp turn, go up a steep hill, drive thru very very narrow paved single road, and take lots of sharp turns, very close to the cliff. Drive very slowly to watch incoming cars and let each other pass. Only come in the daytime, it's very dangerous at night. When we arrived, we didnt know where to go. There was no signage, we had to ask around for our site location. I would rec. to screenshot the camp map to locate your site in case you lose signal to call the host. We had freedom to choose any area by the lake. They have all sport areas, amphitheater, and 2 lake areas. Bathroom was very clean. Hot water is great. They have some water hoses outside and power outlets in the gazebo. We used the boat on the lake, it was really nice. We didnt swim in it though, it looked very swampy. There is small "beach" area with sand for kids too. No mosquitos, but lots of bees and huge tree spiders that camped on top of our tent. But overall, it was awesome. The deer family was very cool! We plan to come back!

This place was such a nice place to camp at! The bathrooms were very clean and spacey. The pond was so cute and had row boats. Has a cool place to makes fires. It is a little confusing as there’s no actual spots that are marked. You just go wherever you want.

My huge group (of 21) booked 4 sites at camp Hye Sierra. We had an excellent stay and enjoyed the great amenities. There is a lot of space to enjoy. From the pond with canoes, volleyball, bastketball/tennis courts, and the soccer field. The bathrooms are very clean, the groundskeeper Tony was great and even brought clean trash bins to our site and picked them up daily. The communal fire pit is huge and beautifully laid out. We enjoyed smores, stories, and stargazing. We saw some wildlife from deer, fox, frogs, and various birds. For sure my group will have fond memories of this place. Camp Hye Sierra sits right above 4000 feet above sea level. We had cooler temperatures at night around 55 degrees, a great summer getaway. We hope to visit again soon.

Not Private But Great Bathrooms

Tent ·

Overall the camping experience here was fine. The camp manager was friendly and helpful, the bathrooms were clean and well lit, and we had access to a water hose near by. Where we were disappointed was the lack or any designated areas to camp. We usually camp at sites with clear areas for each campsite. There was none of that here. We were just told where the small pond was and that anywhere around there would be fine. This doesn't sound so bad until you realize there isn't a lot of flat grassy areas to setup your campsite. This made it hard to spread out and feel like you had your own space. Luckily we got there early and got a spot by the pond but another group had to go setup by an old building up the hill because they didn't want to setup right next to us. I think designated campsites that are more spread out around the pond would go a long way in helping campers feel less lost when they get there. We met almost every other group and they were all a little lost when they got there as to where they were supposed/allowed to setup. A heads up about the 3 mile fire road to get to the camp would be great as well for anyone thinking of bringing a large trailer.

Our entire group loved tent camping at this amazing site. The view of the pond and all the greenery at the grounds was magical. The restrooms were clean and well lite. There were even mini solar lights leading the path from the fire ring to the restroom. Many deer stumbled upon our site and we could hear wild turkeys nearby every morning. There were electric outlets in the restroom and under the shaded structure so you don’t have to stress about your power banks loosing charge or not being able to straighten your hair. The fire ring had a lot of firewood available to burn for two nights. The canoe was available for our group to use during our stay. Our group was worried about showers not being available so we purchased a portable shower. The water temperature in the outdoor shower available was cold but it warmed up so we just placed the foldable shower we purchased through the shower head to get privacy. We had no issues during our stay and would definitely recommend this site. We drove through kings canyon and sequoia after our check out which was about a 40 min drive from the campsite to the north entrance.
