Stony Creek Campground

How often can you find a campground that immerses you in serene natural beauty while sitting just minutes from not one, but two iconic national parks? Stony Creek Campground, perched at 6,400 feet in the Sierra Nevada's Sequoia National Forest, offers just that. Tucked between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks along the Generals Highway, this campground is an ideal base for exploring the world's largest trees, dramatic wilderness trails, and awe-inspiring landscapes.

This campground features nearly 50 sites set among tall pines and lush greenery, with Stony Creek running gently through the area. Amenities emphasize a rustic experience, including vault toilets, drinkable water, and an amphitheater for evening programs, while additional conveniences like showers, groceries, and fuel await just half a mile away at Stony Creek Resort. Campsites offer picnic tables and fire rings, accommodating both tent campers and smaller recreational vehicles. For recreation, the location is ideal: fishing, hiking to scenic vistas, and day trips to destinations like the General Grant Grove and the towering General Sherman Tree are within easy reach.

Positioned within 30 minutes of iconic attractions such as Jennie Lakes Wilderness, Hume Lake, and Boyden Cavern, Stony Creek Campground caters perfectly to adventurous weekend escapes or longer vacations. Whether your goal is solitude, stunning natural wonders, or a central spot for day trips, this campground excels as a tranquil yet well-located retreat.
