Three Rivers, CA · 1 site

This is a essentially a private campsite with a million dollar view during the day, and wonderful stargazing at night! We welcome dogs and don't charge additional fees for you to bring your dog(s) to camp. The park allows dogs into the park BUT NOT ON ANY TRAILS! (Only the national “forests” allow dogs on trails, not national parks.) PLEASE, let us know you are bringing dog(s), when you request to book. We currently have 2 dogs - our boy Chance is a 6yo Husky Doberman mix; and we rescued and are fostering a (approx 3yo) Great Dane, Winston! Unfortunately, we can NOT dog sit your dog(s) while you are in the park having 2 large male dogs in our house. Also you can not leave the dog alone in the campsite. We are in Three Rivers - the southern Ash Mountain gateway to the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Our town has some wonderfully unique restaurants, creative shops and even a delicious brewery with seating next to the River! Our hillside property has great Mountain View’s and the driveway turns directly off of Sierra drive, four miles past the town center (3R post office) and just 2 miles from the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks entrance. There’s even a convenience store a quarter mile away! It's conveniently located and easy to find! You can (seasonally) hear the tranqual sounds, or all out roar of the flowing Kaweah river from across the street. Sorry, there is NO river access from this campsite. You can go to Slick Rock Recreation area, Lake Kaweah or into the parks to swim, boat, fish and more. Lake Kaweah is about 8 miles away. You drive around it after you top the hill entering Three Rivers. My wife Elizabeth and I bought our log home in 2015 and we have been dreaming and adding here ever since! Our dog Chance chases all the fun wildlife off of our property. In addition to deer, we have seen fox, bob cats, an Ocelot, too many coyotes, wild turkeys and bear crossing an animal highway along our upper hillside property line. Hawks, hummingbirds, quail, blue birds, woodpeckers and yellow bellied finches are regularly seen here as well. We have had turkey families coming through frequently recently! Owls have been heard; but not seen. We love our country home and mountain views, and look forward to sharing them with you!

Organic Farm Boondock Camp

4. Organic Farm Boondock Camp

Reedley, CA · 1 site · Tent, RV

Tuck into 25 acres of certified organic mandarin and grape farmland in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. This is a true boondocking experience—no water hookups, no restrooms, no frills—just a quiet, cozy spot set back from the road and surrounded by trees. The farm is a working operation, so you may hear occasional field activity, but mostly you’ll have peace and space to unwind. The owner is hands-off; come here to disconnect. Every season brings something beautiful: citrus blossoms perfume the air in spring, grapevines fill the vineyard rows in summer, and mandarins hang heavy on the trees through winter. Day trips don’t get much better than this. The Kings River is just minutes away—perfect for swimming, kayaking, floating, or just sitting on the bank. Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks are both about 90 minutes away when you’re ready to explore. What to know: • No water, electric, or sewer hookups • No restroom facilities—please pack accordingly • Quiet hours are respected • Working farm—occasional daytime activity Come for the solitude. Stay for the scenery.

OrangeRay, home of Pixie's Place Animal Sanctuary and Hospice was founded in 2007, when I left L.A. for the forest by the river to create, and to expand my shamanic pursuits. Being that Three Rivers was home to the socialist Kaweah Colony in the 1800's; which helped in the founding of Sequoia National Park; the area is rich in history. Poet John Muir was enchanted and inspired by this area; Walt Disney fell under her spell as well when he envisioned a "Swiss Chalet" style resort which never came to fruition. The water wars of California began right here; gold rush...right here! "Kaweah" is the name given by the Indians for the sound the Crow makes. Three Rivers literally sits on slabs of quartz crystal, making rock hunting superb! As an energy practitioner, the quartz heightens the healing process; as well as creating an energy vortex. My property sits on an area that was once an Indian village, and then the school house for the children of the pioneers. There was a huge Hare Krishna Colony up here in the 60-70's. As a photographer and filmmaker, the lighting up here is amazing! The night skies literally pulsate with their celestial canopy. A great spot to sky watch as well! The property is not kid-friendly, and is not really here for children as much as it is offered for the inner child in adults. WE ARE 420 friendly which is in opposition to most "family" landscapes....so please note this is not personal but I prefer no children xo Also, I prefer no pets, as it disrupts the balance here with the animal residents :) I share fresh eggs when available :) (The shower is not available to guest :)

After a long day of hiking, relax on a California King-size circular bed. After your stay the sleeping bags are yours to keep, if you don't want them we will donate them. Enjoy some TV and Wifi or just enjoy nature!

Weekend Trip to Mike And Di's Retreat- 15 min to NP

There's a few domes, and a few tree pods - all thoughtfully laid out so you don't feel like you're intruding on each others' spaces. We stayed in a tree pod. The pod itself is super cozy, and the surrounding area is thoughtfully designed to make it comfortable for two folks.

Weekend Trip to Five Fours Camp in Three Rivers

The hilly site was well maintained with a lot of effort put into the care and details of the "corral" buildings. An old wood spoon for a latch on the bathroom door for example. I thought the outdoor shower was also nice. It's very close to the entrance of Sequoia National Park.

Weekend Trip to Private Sanctuary on the Tule River

The directions given were really accurate and helpful. As soon as we got there we were greeted and given a tour and some backstory on the land. It was a beautiful wonderland, there were many colorful decorations, plants, and we even had donkeys on the land for a bit. Be warned, it’s rattlesnake territory so bring some boots or something and watch where you’re going! There was a river below the campsite we were at and we had a short swim. There is a communal kitchen, living room, shower, & bathroom. We were allowed to use a wheel barrow to transport our things from the car to the campsite. The shower was awesome to use and everything was clean and maintained daily. Hosts were very accommodating, knowledgeable, & sweet to all guests who were there. There were also dogs & cats they have that would roam which made it so much more fun in my opinion. Definitely will be coming back, was my favorite site of the whole road trip!! :D

Loved camping on this site, the hosts were kind enough to provide a lamp for us to turn on and off as we like. Tons of space to place a tent and lots of space to dig for using the restroom as well. When going up to the ranch to dispose our trash it was beautiful and the trash cans were very easy to find. There was also a little faucet that they provided on site as well which was a nice surprise. Overall great experience and would come back! Thank you Michael!

He responded quickly, guided us clearly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. You can really feel that he cares about his guests. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a calm and unique experience. Would definitely love to come back again.

Such a great place to stay close to the national parks. Easy access and great directions. It was so nice to be in the wilderness without neighbors. Water and electricity was a bonus. The pull thru was great for our travel trailer.

We had a wonderful stay here! I came with my dog and my niece, and it was a great experience for all of us. The space felt very safe, peaceful, and we loved the set up, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time. The location is ideal, close to Sequoia and Slick Rock, with beautiful nature all around and easy access to explore. Everything about the property is well organized and convenient, making the stay feel smooth and comfortable. The showers and bathrooms are especially lovely!! beautifully built and a real highlight. We would happily return and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a blend of nature and comfort.

We absolutely loved our stay on these beautiful lands. Xico was so warm and welcoming and made sure we were set up with the perfect spot right on the river. We never slept better. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy more of what the land there has to offer. The donkeys were a highlight of the camp

Our stay in one of Spencer’s yurts was great, and exactly what we wanted for a quick weekend trip. It’s beautifully located and had all the amenities we needed. The bed was super comfortable and I’d love to stay again next time I’m in the area.

What a gem at the gateway to Sequoia. We timed our stay perfectly with the wildflower bloom. It felt like heaven on Brewster’s land.

This place is wild in the best possible way. Set up in the hills on your way to Sequoia National Park, Brewster has built a wonderful western-themed site that feels like it’s something out of an old cowboy film set in a stunningly beautiful area. With the exception of a hot shower for winter months (there is a cute cold shower for hotter days), we had all the comforts one needs to enjoy their stay. Flush toilet in the very clean “outhouse”, pristine BBQs, a covered picnic area, a double hammock! I mean we were set! Recycling and garbage also provided. We only stayed one night but we would definitely return to the corral campsite! Thanks so much Brewster. We loved Corral campsite!
