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 9 - Tent Site

Hip camp was peaceful and pleasant. Tent site 9 backs onto a creek which was lovely.

Site 1 - Rv Space Camp site

Not Private, Good Location

This was our first time using a Hipcamp campground so we weren't sure what to expect. And realized for King's Canyon RV Resort, it was like camping in someone's grassy field. It was fairly exposed with little privacy, and while it said RV park only tent campers were there and it did not seem super RV friendly. The owner was fantastic in that he let us move our site to a more private one in trees and the pit toilets were super clean and smelled fine! At the end of the day maybe we just didn't know what to expect and it worked for a place to camp for one night!

Site 9 - Tent Site

Tent Site 9 is the only way.

Just stayed 2 nights the weekend after Labor Day. Pro: We had the entire place to ourselves. Con: The Lodge was closed. Pro: Absolutely LOVED our site. Everything was perfect. Con: drove right by it - somehow missed it is directly across from Kings Cyn Lodge. The tent site sign is street level and very hard to see.

Site 3 - Group Campsite

Successful solo camp!

Finding my specific site was a little tough, but it was clean and felt safe. I solo camped here with a dog and felt super comfortable. Would recommend arriving during daylight to make sure you find the correct site.
