Primitive Camping

No dispersed camping allowed inside the National Park boundary. (except fo backpacking) The best primitive camping is in the backcountry, which is accessible my most passenger cars. Remote camping is available in the small section of Sequoia National Forest, in the Jennie Lakes Wilderness area, which is in between both the Sequoia & Kings Cyn. National Park areas. Located on the Big Meadow area via Highway 198.

Kings Canyon Hiking

Grizzly Falls & Roaring River Falls

From Fresno take Hwy. 180, approximately 50 miles east to the Big Stump Entrance Station. Take 180 to the left (north). Passing thru a few Sequoia groves, continue until you enter King Canyon NP. The South Branch of King River will be visible.

Grizzly Falls will be on your left & marked with a parking area.
Continue on Hwy. 180 about 7 more miles to the parking area for Roaring River Falls with a short, well-maintained trail to falls.
