Free camping near Kings Canyon can be found in designated areas within the neighboring Sequoia National Forest. These undeveloped sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis and do not have amenities like restrooms, water, or trash services. Be prepared to practice Leave No Trace principles and pack out everything you bring in. Keep in mind that dispersed camping is not allowed within Kings Canyon National Park itself, as camping is only permitted in developed campgrounds that require a fee.
