Description

Crystal Springs Campground, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park.  The campground does not have an address therefore, the address used here is a general park address.  The Campbase map provided here is accurate for the campgrounds location. 

Directions:

Take Highway 180 out of Fresno, California.  The highway leads into the national park at the Kings Canyon entrance.  Crystal Springs campground is located 4 miles (6 km) from Kings Canyon Park entrance in the Grant Grove area.  It's on the right side of the road after the information center.  The campground is situated under open stands of evergreen trees.
 
Note: Due to road conditions, RVs larger than 22 feet should enter the park from Fresno on highway 180.  There are numerous turn-outs for slower vehicles.  The highway is winding and better suited for the larger RVs.   Campbase used a 32 foot RV for this trip and it worked out fine.  RV's should not use the parks southern entrance.

Comment

Crystal Springs Campground is Open May through September with tent, group, and RV camp sites.  No reservations; first-come, first-serve.  There are 36 camp sites and 13 group sites.  Groceries, showers, and restaurant are 1/4 mile (.8 km) away at Grant Grove Village.  Coin operated showers but no laundry.  

Cell phone service is excellent in this area.  It's one of the few locations in the park where the cell phone will have reception.  Free WiFi is available near the Grant Village Lodge registration desk.  
 
There are three gas stations in the National Park.  Kings Canyon Lodge, Hume Lake, and Stony Creek Village.  Diesel is available at the last two.  The NPS map indicates that fuel is available at Grant Grove Village however, Campbase could not find a gas station at that location.  Campbase recommends filling your vehicles fuel tank before entering the National Park.
 
Dump stations are located at Potwisha, Lodgepole, Princess, and Dorst Creek campgrounds.  The Princess Campground dump station is the closest station to this campground.  There is a $10 fee to dump.
 
Bear boxes are provided in every campground in the park.  All food must be stored in these boxes unless it's kept out of sight in an RV.  Food may not be left out at any time.  Additional bear rules and information can be found at the restrooms.  Do not feed the bears at any time.
