Sequoia National Park

Sequoia National Park is a place where time seems to have stood still for centuries, you can wander around the base of giants from another age, and camp in the surrounding forest. If you have an opportunity to camp here, you should seize it. After touring the park and hiking among the giant sequoias, there is no better way to cap off the day than to pitch your tent below towering pines and set up a chair under the night sky. Campgrounds in the park, particularly those close to the giant sequoia groves, are wonderful places to appreciate nature and soak up the tranquil environment.

The park offers multiple campgrounds within the park, including Lodgepole Campground, which is one of the most popular camping spots for both tent sites and RV spots. Visitors will find a picnic table and a fire ring at their campsite, which is a short distance from one of the forks of the Kaweah River. Lodgepole Campground is also within walking distance to Lodgepole Village, which offers a visitor center and camp store and shower and laundry facilities.

Another option for Sequoia National Park camping is Dorst Creek Campground. Camping here puts visitors just ten miles from the Giant Forest, where hikers can see the impressive sequoia trees that the park gets its name from. Like some of the campgrounds in the area, Dorst Creek Campground closes seasonally for the winter.
