The trek to reach these campsites is more extensive than others, but the beauty of the core of Sequoia National Forest is worth all of the 90-minute drive.

Located in one of the densest and most remote areas within Sequoia National park is Cold Springs Campground. While there are no electric hookups provided, guests are encouraged to bring RVs, campervans, and other vehicles to provide for the perfect experience after a long day’s adventures. Dorst Creek provides its guests with picnic tables, fire rings, dump stations and water stations, flush toilets, and bear-proof food storage. There are around 200 campsites in Dorst Creek Campground, with an additional four group campsites. In addition to having hiking trails in the area, the campsites are incredibly spacious and quieter than other campgrounds in the park, offering more privacy for those who want it. Once at the highest point in the trail, you will have views of the Great Western Divide. Little Baldy climbs nearly 800 feet, making it slightly higher than the Muir Grove. Muir Grove Trail ends in a grove of some of the tallest trees in California.Īnother trail located by the campground is the Little Baldy Trail, a 3.3-mile out and back hike. Muir Grove Trail, climbing just over 500 feet on the 3.8-mile out and back, is a favorite adventure for campers at Dorst Creek. The greatest appeal of the campground, however, is the incredible hiking trails that surround the area. Dorst Creek Campground is only open from June through September, and the beautiful summer weather is sure to impress the thousands of guests it houses during the warmer months. Dorst Creek Campground’s central location between Grant Grove and Lodgepole gives it the appeal of being a perfect pitstop for a night’s rest before moving back and forth between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
