Sheep Creek Campground – Kings Canyon National Park

Sheep Creek Campground is located near Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon National Park. Offering 111 first come first serve sites.

This campground has some shaded areas with a lot of boulders and uneven ground. A few sites are right along a small creek with amazing shade.

The views of Kings Canyon are epic from this part of the park. You can see the large granite walls and are surrounded by huge trees. This campground is close to Zumwalt Meadows and a ton of Kings Canyon hiking trails. 

If you want to take a break from the main part of the park this is a great area! It is a bit of a windy road to get down into Cedar Grove but once you are down the mountain it is beautiful.
