Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights24 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Quaking Aspen Campground sits at about 7,000 feet inside the Giant Sequoia National Monument on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, a short drive east of Springville on Highway 190 and roughly a half-day's approach from Porterville. The site is close to several distinctive sequoia groves McIntyre Grove and the large Freeman Creek Grove (1,425 acres, unlogged and home to the President George Bush Tree) are among the nearest draws and trails through Bear Creek Grove follow the Belknap Complex along Bear Creek and the Tule River.











Length limits vary by campsite.

“Great campsite that is not too far away from small markets, but still very isolated. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (8,694 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
