Fir Group Campground can accommodate up to 100 guests.

Vault toilets, drinking water, fire rings, picnic tables and food storage lockers are provided.

This facility is operated by Rocky Mountain Recreation Company a division of ExplorUS and comments are welcome; comment forms are available from campground hosts or online.

Natural Features

The Sequoia National Forest, located at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada in central California, takes its name from the giant sequoia, the world's largest tree, which grows in more than 30 groves on the Forest's lower slopes.

The Forest comprises about 1.1 million acres, and elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls and Grizzly Falls.

The description, directions and fees are the Forest Service’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
