{Travel Log} Camping in Sequoia National Park | California Outdoor Travel

December 07, 2010

There is something so captivating about sleeping in a tent snuggled in layers of sleeping bag and blankets, sitting by the campfire roasting marshmellows!

Camping in Sequoia National Park is truely an experience to remember. Know as the Land of Giants, this park is so beautiful. The landscape is so diverse – huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world’s largest trees!. And not to mention so many black bears. We spotted 6 bears in the 3 days that we camped in the park - on the trail, on the sideway and not to mention crossing the road!

A visit to Sequoia is twice as sweet because there are two parks in close proximity to each other - Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The two parks have 14 campgrounds of which the majority are first-come, first-served.
There are multitude of activities in the park than range from driving around the famous Generals Highway loop that houses all the famous sequoia trees, participate in ranger led hikes or hit the backcounty trails for some specaticular views. No matter what the season there is always something to do and something to see at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.
