About this campground

Tucked just half a mile from the majestic McKinley Grove of Giant Sequoias, Gigantea Campground beckons those seeking an authentic, back-to-nature experience. This rustic retreat embraces simplicity, where towering cedars, fragrant firs, and stately sugar pines create a natural cathedral overhead. The terrain offers variety with gentle slopes giving way to level camping spots, each thoughtfully equipped with a table and grill for memorable outdoor meals. While the main access road is paved, charming dirt roads wind through the campground, adding to its secluded feel. True to its rustic character, campers should come prepared with their own water and plan to pack out trash, making this an ideal destination for self-sufficient adventurers.
Gigantea Campground provides a rustic camping experience with minimal facilities.
