Five Fours Camp in Three Rivers

Three Rivers, CA · 1 site
This is a essentially a private campsite with a million dollar view during the day, and wonderful stargazing at night! We welcome dogs and don't charge additional fees for you to bring your dog(s) to camp. The park allows dogs into the park BUT NOT ON ANY TRAILS! (Only the national “forests” allow dogs on trails, not national parks.) PLEASE, let us know you are bringing dog(s), when you request to book. We currently have 2 dogs - our boy Chance is a 6yo Husky Doberman mix; and we rescued and are fostering a (approx 3yo) Great Dane, Winston! Unfortunately, we can NOT dog sit your dog(s) while you are in the park having 2 large male dogs in our house. Also you can not leave the dog alone in the campsite. We are in Three Rivers - the southern Ash Mountain gateway to the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Our town has some wonderfully unique restaurants, creative shops and even a delicious brewery with seating next to the River! Our hillside property has great Mountain View’s and the driveway turns directly off of Sierra drive, four miles past the town center (3R post office) and just 2 miles from the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks entrance. There’s even a convenience store a quarter mile away! It's conveniently located and easy to find! You can (seasonally) hear the tranqual sounds, or all out roar of the flowing Kaweah river from across the street. Sorry, there is NO river access from this campsite. You can go to Slick Rock Recreation area, Lake Kaweah or into the parks to swim, boat, fish and more. Lake Kaweah is about 8 miles away. You drive around it after you top the hill entering Three Rivers. My wife Elizabeth and I bought our log home in 2015 and we have been dreaming and adding here ever since! Our dog Chance chases all the fun wildlife off of our property. In addition to deer, we have seen fox, bob cats, an Ocelot, too many coyotes, wild turkeys and bear crossing an animal highway along our upper hillside property line. Hawks, hummingbirds, quail, blue birds, woodpeckers and yellow bellied finches are regularly seen here as well. We have had turkey families coming through frequently recently! Owls have been heard; but not seen. We love our country home and mountain views, and look forward to sharing them with you!

Organic Farm Boondock Camp

6. Organic Farm Boondock Camp

Reedley, CA · 1 site · Tent, RV
Tuck into 25 acres of certified organic mandarin and grape farmland in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. This is a true boondock experience — no water hookups, no restrooms, no frills — just a quiet, cozy spot set back from the road and surrounded by trees. The farm is a working operation, so you may hear occasional field activity, but mostly you’ll have peace and space to unwind. The owner is hands-off; come to disconnect. Every season brings something beautiful: citrus blossoms perfume the air in spring, grapevines fill the vineyard rows in summer, and mandarins hang heavy on the trees through winter. Day trips don’t get much better from here. The Kings River is just minutes away — swim, kayak, float, or just sit on the bank. Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks are both about 90 minutes out when you’re ready to explore. What to know: ∙ No water, electric, or sewer hookups ∙ No restroom facilities — pack accordingly ∙ Quiet hours respected ∙ Working farm — occasional daytime activity Come for the solitude. Stay for the scenery.
