Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

Show on map (559) 565-3341 seki_information@nps.gov

47050 Generals Highway
Three Rivers, CA 93271

Huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world’s largest trees exemplify the diversity of landscapes, life, and beauty here. Explore these pages to plan your visit or to learn about the plants and animals here and the threats they face. Ancient giant sequoias may seem invincible, but they, too are vulnerable.

Directions

Two highways enter the parks. Hwy 180 from Fresno leads east to Kings Canyon National Park, then continues 30 miles east to Cedar Grove. Hwy 198 from Visalia leads east to Sequoia National Park via Three Rivers. Inside the parks, Highway 198 becomes the Generals Highway, which connects 198 to 180. Vehicles over 22-feet long should enter the parks via Highway 180. In winter, the Generals Highway between the parks often closes. Chains may be required on park roads. No roads cross the parks east to west.

Reviews

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks campgrounds continue to offer beautiful natural settings with scenic sites near rivers and trails, and convenient access to visitor centers, markets, and shuttle stops. New feedback highlights well-maintained campgrounds with spacious and family-friendly sites, though bathroom cleanliness and maintenance remain recurrent issues. Noise disturbances and lack of quiet hour enforcement are increasingly noted concerns. Some campsites are sloped or rocky, and cell service is limited. Helpful rangers and amenities like marketplaces and amphitheaters add value, but campsite proximity and light disruptions affect privacy and tranquility.

Only a few loops were open and the only open bathroom was far away. It was weird that a close bathroom next to our loop had lights on all night- but it was closed. The garbage was also not close by.

Excellent location for Kings canyon, the camp sites are spaced out and lots of trees. The bathrooms were clean with real flushing toilets lol It was perfect for me in the fall right before the closure of cedar Grove Lodge for the season. Cedar Grove has a small hotel, a small restaurant and market. Make sure you look at the map it’s a long winding road to go to Sequoia national park. I didn't mind the drive it’s beautiful, but know that the elevation and terrain make Travel more difficult between the parks.

The campsite was very nice and comfortable, but the biggest issue of the whole campground were the women and men’s bathrooms they were filthy… it took a day and half for the toilet paper to be refilled…
