Natural Features

The campground is adjacent to Ten Mile Creek, a creek popular with anglers and hunters and dwarfed by towering Sequoia and Ponderosa pines at an elevation of 5,294 feet.

Sequoia National Forest is located at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada in central California and named for 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. Elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Grizzly Falls.

Nearby Attractions

Bearskin Grove offers the rare opportunity to photograph an entire mature sequoia in one frame. Hiking through the grove, visitors will find a mix of young and old sequoias, including about 50 trees that measure over six feet in diameter. Take Tenmile Road (Forest Road 13S09) to Forest Road 13S02, then 13S98 to enter the grove. Places like Hume Lake, Boyden Cavern, and Princess Meadow are nearby summer recreation opportunities. Visitors enjoy making day trips to nearby Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks and Giant Sequoia National Monument.
