About
Buck Rock Campground sits at 7,600 feet elevation in the Giant Sequoia National Monument within Sequoia National Forest. This small, free campground offers five first-come, first-served sites near Big Meadow Creek, making it an ideal base for exploring the Jennie Lakes Wilderness and visiting the historic Buck Rock Lookout. The campground provides basic amenities including vault toilets, a picnic table and fire ring at each site. There is no potable water, and campers must pack out all trash. This is bear country, so proper food storage is required. Hume Lake, approximately 15 miles away, offers swimming, non-motorized boating, fishing, and additional hiking opportunities. The campground has a 16-foot maximum vehicle length, making it unsuitable for larger RVs or trailers. Pets are welcome on a 6-foot leash. Quiet hours are observed from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Directions
From Grant Grove, go 7 miles southeast on Generals Highway and 4 miles east on Big Meadows Road (Forest Road 14S11).
