Easy access to General’s Hwy for Sequoia National Park access The Sequoia & Kings Canyon area has a long history of being visited. Even in the pioneer days, before the road, people had heard tales of the majestic canyon, wild rivers and of the groves of gigantic trees, that many thought to be a hoax. Folks would make the difficult trip up into the mountain to see for themselves. This site, in the early 1900’s was a farmstead providing fresh fruits and vegetables to the areas loggers, ranchers, hotels and backcountry explorers. During the construction of the new highway In the 1920’s the site was used as a labor camp. During the highway construction days a lodge and gas station was built and was known as “Barton Flat”. In the 1950’s the property was sold and became the “Kings Canyon Lodge”. In 2015 the historic lodge and some of the other cabins were destroyed in the “Rough” fire, by a miracle the original 1928 visible gas pumps survived the fire and are still being used to this day. We are hopeful to eventually rebuild a lodge to serve the many visitors.

Site 7 - Tent Site

Highly recommend with best host

Honestly was awesome been a lot of government sites. However for my wedding anniversary,wife's birthday and my own birthday. We spent our anniversary and part of my wifes birthday at King Canyon resort. Some people gave bad reviews. Don't know why. The host was absolutely the best host. Legitimately cared about how his guests were doing. Sure he's not there all day which I understand he has a place to go at the end of the day to. I will probably make it a yearly tradition to go here. I would recommend this place 100% the creek was awesome and no one bothered us. I recommend water shoes rocks get slippery however other then that was an awesome time I would recommend you go and experience it.

Site 3 - Rv Space Camp site

Convenient, clean, and cramped

We stayed at Campsite 3 (RV) and were surprised our campsite was just slightly larger than our vehicle, a 22' Winnebago, smashed between two other tiny sites. Our girls were sleeping in the van, and my husband and I were in a tent. The side door of our van opened uncomfortably close to our neighbor's site, and their tent was so close to ours that I am sure they could hear my husband's snoring! The owner/manager kindly offered a different site for us to move to because he had several openings, but we had already set up camp and didn't want to bother with the hassle of moving. The location was convenient for a place to crash after a day spent exploring the Canyon, and our daughters were very excited about the bathrooms (convenient and clean), but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to camp there again. We weren't near the river nor did we have great views, and the ice cream store was closed by the time we arrived (~7pm), so I'm sure those factors affected our experience.

Site 9 - Tent Site

Great spot

Best Site out of all the Sites! Extremely private. Semi close to the highway but road is elevated. Direct contact with ease of path to the river. Def rebooking. Highly recommended at least two days here Camp is across the road from the check in zone (gas station)
