New listing

Big Meadows Campground is located 75 miles east of Fresno, California, in the Sequoia National Forest and Sequoia National Monument, at an elevation of 7,500 feet. Please note, this campground is not within Shenandoah National Park. Big Meadow is a beautiful, higher altitude campground, uniquely arranged into 5 separate units with approximately 5 to 9 campsites per unit. It has a primitive feel but with amenities. The campground is near numerous meadows and sits along a serene creek that hosts plenty of wildlife. The campground offers 43 single campsites and one double-family campsite. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, and a food storage box, and each unit has a maintained vault toilet and trash dumpster. There is no potable water available at this location. Hiking into the Jennie Lakes Wilderness and fly fishing in Big Meadows Creek are popular options, and horseback riders have access to the nearby Horse Corral Pack Station. Numerous trailheads provide access to popular wilderness areas including Jennie Lakes, Monarch, and national park destinations. Buck Rock Lookout, perched at an elevation of 8,500 feet, is a short drive away, and guests looking for water activities can visit Hume Lake, only 15 miles away.
