Camping at Dorst Creek Campground-Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park near Three Rivers

Public campground · Three Rivers · 167 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Dorst Creek Campground sits at about 6,700 feet on the banks of Dorst Creek, surrounded by meadow pockets, small streams and forests of lodgepole pine and red fir, with groves of giant sequoias and granite peaks visible nearby. The site is a practical base for exploring the Giant Forest region: several trails begin at or near the campground, including the short hike to Lost Grove (a 57-acre stand with 15 sequoias), the Big Trees Trail, and routes to Moro Rock and Tunnel Log; the easy Tokopah Falls Trail follows the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River to an impressive 1,200-foot fall.

“The campgrounds were clean as well as the bathrooms. Our campsite was flat and it worked well for our pop-up trailer camper.”

Tony G 5 · Feb 2020 · Recreation.gov

“A nice campground. Shuttle bus is definitely helpful. Choose your campsite carefully! There are some with very little level ground!”
