Summary
No reservations are required, but a free permit may be needed for campfires—check with Sequoia National Forest. There are no fees. Amenities are minimal: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups. Campers must practice Leave No Trace. The area is accessible by high-clearance vehicles, and RV access is limited. Expect a peaceful, forested setting in the Sequoia National Forest with scenic meadows and nearby access to hiking trails like Big Meadow and Jennie Lakes Wilderness. Best visited late spring through early fall when roads are open and weather is mild.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
