About Nelder Grove Campground

Sites are located along California Creek. Good shade provided by pine and fir trees. Located near Bull Buck Trail. Parking Lot; restroom; historical sites; nature trails. Beyond the campsite there are various giant sequoia trees that you can visit. We advise everyone to stay on the trail, and to stay behind the fences guarding the trees preserving their beauty for the future generations. This summer we are expecting a large number of visitors so please plan for delays, thank you.
