Bearpaw Meadow Camp is located on the High Sierra Trail 11 miles (17.6 km) east of Giant Forest. This simple tent hotel is the only concession facility located in the backcountry of Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. It offers accommodations, meals and limited supplies from mid-June through Labor Day. Reservations are required and should be made through the DNPS Reservation Office, 888-252-5757, beginning January 1st. Space usually fills very quickly.
There is a small camping area for backpackers not staying at the tent hotel. Backpackers should note that the piped water there will no longer be treated or filtered due to the difficulty of maintaining this remote system to meet mandatory state standards for drinking water. The piped water will be labeled "nonpotable," and backpackers should be prepared to treat it themselves.
