Sequoia RV Ranch

Regional guide

Sequoia RV Ranch is the primary full-hookup option for RVers visiting the parks. The property sits on 8 acres along the North Fork of the Kaweah River, about 8 miles from the Sequoia National Park entrance. It is open year-round and offers what the national park campgrounds do not: water, electric (30/50 amp), and sewer at your site.

The ranch has 56 sites spread across a mix of full-hookup pull-throughs, back-in sites, water-and-electric-only spots, and dry camping areas under oak trees. The riverside sites are the most desirable — the Kaweah runs through the property, and several sites sit directly above the water. Spring-fed swimming holes and fishing spots are on the grounds.

Each site has a fire pit and picnic table. Some premium sites include small wooden decks. WiFi, cable TV, laundry facilities (two washers, two dryers), and a dog park area are available. The overall feel is rustic-comfortable rather than resort-polished — think shaded sites along a mountain river rather than a concrete-pad mega-park.

Rates vary by site type and season, generally ranging from $55 to $90 per night for full-hookup sites. Riverside and pull-through sites command the premium.

Base camp strategy: For rigs over 22 feet, Sequoia RV Ranch is the practical answer. Park your rig at the ranch, enjoy full hookups and river access, and drive into the park each day with your tow vehicle. The 8-mile drive to the park entrance takes about 15 minutes. You avoid the Generals Highway restrictions entirely while still having easy access to the Giant Forest.
