Azalea Campground

Excellent location with easy access to Grant Grove.
A short trail from the campground leads directly into the Grant Grove area, making it simple to explore. The Grant Grove loop features many impressive giant sequoias and connects to several extended trails for those looking for a longer hike. Each campsite is equipped with a bear-proof food storage bin.

The campground is very RV-friendly, though some sites may not be ideal for tent camping—be sure to review the details for each site before reserving.

Flush toilets are conveniently located throughout the campground, but note that there are no showers.

The visitor center, restaurant, and camp store are just a 2-minute drive or a 10-minute walk away. The store offers basic camping essentials like ice, firewood, and snacks—enough to cover most common needs.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Grant Grove area!

Lovely campground, perfect weather, and easy access to trails right nearby.

The spot backed up to the meadow and that was awesome. Water nearby to fill my trailer as needed. The bad part was the slab slopes pretty deep at the back and left. It was quite a challenge to level my trailer. They closed 101 for overflow, which is the space I’d wanted first. Very disappointed in that. I’d love to see spots out of the meadow loop for overflow next year.

This was a nice campground with spacious sites. It was significantly cooler than Yosemite because of the elevation. We loved it! We had a self-enclosed trailer so we didn't use the bathrooms.

Beautiful location at a high elevation to escape the heat.

Facilities were clean. Most camping sites have some drawback, which maybe 15 could be a concern when it rains, as mentioned by another reviewer. With that said, the bear locker was nicely shaded all day, the water spigot was a stone's throw away, and its location at the turn around made it so no one needed to walk through the site to get to the bathrooms, which were still close enough to feel comfortable letting our independent child go to on her own while still being able to keep an eye on her coming and going. Its northern boundary, where water drains when it's rainy, but not while we visited, is populated by grasses that encourage deer to get relatively close.
