Located on the Generals Highway between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and within the Giant Sequoia National Monument, the campground provides convenient access to over 30 groves of giant sequoia trees, the world's largest trees. The campground features vault toilets, drinking water from hand pumps, picnic tables, fire rings, and an amphitheater. Stony Creek Resort, located just half a mile away, offers public showers, groceries, a restaurant, gasoline, and a public phone. The Jennie Lakes Wilderness trailhead is located across the street at Upper Stony Creek campground, providing access to excellent hiking opportunities.
