Sentinel Campground in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park is located on Highway 180 1/4 mile from Cedar Grove Village. The campground is situated in the canyon along the Middle Fork of the Kings River under open stands of evergreen trees. The campground is adjacent to the highway and sites 60-82 are the closest to the road (ie these are the noisiest).
Paved roads with paved parking pads meander through the campground. There is no official length limit for RVs but you would be hard pressed to fit larger units into this campground (note they can more easily fit in the aforementioned sites near the roadway). Restrooms with running water and water spigots are available. Many of the sites are smartly placed in a pretty setting; not much privacy between sites the campground fills later in the day during busy periods.
Open seasonally May thru October there are 82 sites available on a first come first served basis only. Located at 4,000 feet (1200 m) and a hour drive from Grant Grove, Cedar Grove is a quieter area of Kings Canyon National Park. Campgrounds in this area are on the South Fork of the Kings River and offer views of the glaciated Kings Canyon. Trails here lead to meadows and waterfalls, and also provide some of the best access to the high Sierra wilderness. All campgrounds in this area contain a bicycle trail which connects them to services at Cedar Grove Village.
The Cedar Grove Area is known as the Kings Canyon region of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park; also referred to as Roads End. The drive to this area from Grants Grove is a long winding and steep road. The bulk of the drive passes through the recent burn area as campers descend down in to the canyon. A pay phone, restaurant, showers, and laundry facilities are available in the Cedar Grove Village a short distance from the campground.

Sequioa 60
This winter, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks in California will expand your perspective, renew your spirit and challenge your sense of wonder.
Under the snowy boughs and branches of the big trees, Sequoia and Kings Canyon make for a magical winter wonderland. Hidden beneath their winter “coat,” dusty summer trails disappear and hiking boots give way to skis and snowshoes on well-marked cross-country trails. Sledding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snow play at Wolverton Meadow and Grant Grove will reward the well-bundled visitor. Head over to the Big Stump snow play area and build a snowman with the kids, or toboggan down an icy track if you dare.
Winter in Sequoia and Kings Canyon also brings with it a nostalgic, old-fashioned, stare-into-the-roaring-fire kind of vacation experience that is a relaxing counterpoint to the high-adrenaline ski vacations offered elsewhere in the California Sierra. It’s a different way to experience the season, and the perfect way to reconnect with family and loved ones.

The Giant Sequoia - Calaveras Big Trees State Park
A visit to Calaveras Big Trees State Park on December 30th 2019. I take you on a tour of the North Sequoia Grove. The General Grant tree in Kings Canyon National park is the largest tree in the world by mass. The trees in this park aren't quite as big but it is a very impressive grove worthy of a day or more of your time. In summer you can drive to the South Grove and have access to a beautiful stretch of the Stanislaus River.

Tehipite Valley MADNESS! Kings Canyon National Park backpacking- Silver Spray California waterfalls
September 2019. Tehipite Madness is a real thing. A real disease. This is a warning. If you watch this video, you may catch it. Believe me. It starts off small: a mild curiosity and interest. Over time, perhaps years, it slowly grows and grows, until it becomes an unstoppable torrent of madness. You cannot stop thinking about Tehipite, day and night. The only cure: you must go there. The problem: getting there is no easy task. Tehipite Valley is perhaps the most difficult hike you will ever do in your life. Actually, it is not a debate. It is the most difficult.
In my case, the madness was something even worse.
This was the most difficult backpacking trip I have ever done, to Tehipite Valley in Kings Canyon National Park California, the Southern Sierra Nevada. To hike out of the canyon, you gain 3000 ft. of elevation in only 2 miles. This is steeper than the trail to Upper Yosemite Falls! Down at the bottom? Beautiful waterfalls, including Silver Spray Falls, and the majestic Tehipite Dome. And something else as well: gnats! It was an interesting and short trip, but I will be back here someday.

South Fork Campground in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park is located in a more remote area of the foothills and is open year-round for tent camping. 10 sites all on a first come first served basis the campground is not well maintained and has a feel of abandonment. Accessed via a long dusty dirt road South Fork Campground sites have a picnic table, fire ring and bear box at each site. A self pay kiosk is available and during peak summer seasons a nightly fee is charged; in the off-season no fee is charged.
Lady Bug trailhead leaves from this campground with access to miles of trails into the Wilderness areas. Quiet and secluded with vault toilets and scattered water spigots this is not a destination for campers looking to enjoy the National Park; instead it is best used as a starting off point for back country campers. Bears frequent this area and are proficient at entering vehicles; use care (and the bear boxes) when storing food or scented items.
The drive back to South Fork Campground is the highlight of this location. The route crosses an old arch shaped bridge, parallels old flume boxes and climbs along a pretty canyon. The dirt road is generally rough and the NPS does not advise low clearance vehicles or passenger cars to drive the road. RVs and trailers are not allowed. Van campers and truck campers could make it to this location but will likely scrape the low clearance trees once inside the National Park.
South Fork Campground is not far into the National Park so campers could easily stay here and recreate back in the forest service lands.

Bridge over Woods Creek, Kings Canyon National Park, California | PCT 2014
This suspension bridge is supposed to be used one at a time, and it's easy to see why. Even walking across it by myself caused it to twist and wobble. Recorded during a 1,000 mile jaunt of the Pacific Crest Trail during the summer of 2014.
