Azalea Campground

Great spot

Great spot

Hiked sunset trail along sequoia creek. Site 109’s proximity to site 110 was kind of weird but I had good neighbors so it was fine. Was really rad to have the creek running right under our site.

Site was right next to the walking trail to the visitor center or General Grant Grove, which was nice but also meant a lot of people coming and going. Otherwise, it's a beautiful spot under the trees and dark at night. Parking was large enough to fit a camper van and passenger vehicle. Biggest issue was that there were ant mounds everywhere on the tent pad, which was not an issue for me (car camping) but may be a concern for a tent. Note that there isn't a formal check-in process; you're considered checked in if a ranger passes by (around 12:30–12:45) and sees your set-up, so you'll need to leave a message at the campground number when you arrive if you're not setting up a tent so you don't get your reservation cancelled.

This is a great campground that is close to the entrance, close to General Grant Tree, and close to the visitor center (the only wifi in the north section of the park- no AT&T service in the park). The campground is itself scenic with lots of granite boulders and trees and hills and a sunset vista.
