Azalea Campground – Kings Canyon National Park

Azalea Campground is a great forested campground located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) from the Kings Canyon National Park entrance on Hwy 180.

This Kings Canyon Campground has an easy walking trail to the Grant Grove Visitor Center and is centrally located in the park.

The entire campground is first come first serve with no reservations so you will want to be there early especially during the summer and on weekends.

Campsites are fairly well spread out and have great shade from all of the huge trees. There are trees down from winter storms that are blocking a couple of campsites but the park is working on a lot of clean up still. 

There are seven campgrounds within Kings Canyon National Park. We break each of them down in our Kings Canyon Camping guide.
