Azalea Campground

Azalea Campground Closed

Azalea Campground is currently closed as park crews remove hazard trees. It is scheduled to reopen on June 19, depending on safety conditions. Drought years and a heavy snowfall have caused a large number of dead trees that may drop a limb or tip over at any time. Other campgrounds may open late. Check the campground schedule for all campground opening dates and updates.

 

Grant Grove Showers are Closed

The showers at Grant Grove Village are scheduled to be closed all year. If you camp at Grant Grove and use a solar shower, soapy water must be collected and disposed of in a sink or toilet. You can also travel to Lodgepole for public showers.

 

Azalea Campground is in the Grant Grove area, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) from the Kings Canyon National Park entrance on Hwy 180. The campground is under open stands of evergreen trees at an elevation of 6,500 ft (1,980 m) and is within walking distance of the General Grant sequoia grove. In summer, Azalea shrubs bloom with showy, fragrant white flowers.
