Our Take
What makes Azalea Campground special
Azalea Campground is the welcoming gateway to the giant sequoia groves of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and it holds a special place in the hearts of campers who return year after year. Situated at 6,500 feet elevation near the Grant Grove area, this 108-site campground operates year-round, making it one of the few options in the parks that lets you experience the sequoias in every season. Summer brings warm days and cool evenings perfect for exploring the nearby General Grant Tree and its surrounding grove. Winter transforms the campground into a snow-dusted wonderland where the massive trees take on an almost magical quality. The campground itself is set among a beautiful mixed-conifer forest, with sites that offer good spacing and a genuine sense of being immersed in nature. The name hints at the springtime display of western azaleas that brighten the understory with delicate blooms and sweet fragrance. From here, you have easy access to hiking trails, visitor centers, and the scenic roads that wind through some of the most impressive old-growth forest on the planet. Azalea Campground is the kind of place that turns a camping trip into a lifelong memory, especially for families introducing children to the wonder of these ancient trees.
