Azalea Campground

Loved camping among the large trees and being walking distance to visitor center at Grant Grove Village and to the General Grant Tree trail.

Nice campground. A couple minutes drive from Kings Canyon Visitor Center, General Grant tree, store, gift shop, restaurant… No showers. Restaurant was very casual and had great food options. Also was able to charge our phones there.
Kings Canyon and Sequoia national parks have a joint Junior ranger program, don’t miss it.
Site 86 was nice. Initially we didn’t like it because it is surrounded by the access road on 3 sides and there are no bushes or anything so there is zero privacy. But as we observed many other sites, we appreciated 86 more and more. It is very large and flat, would easily fit 10 tents. Some sites didn’t have enough flat ground to set up even a single tent. There are tall trees on both east and west sides so you can find some shade most of the day except around noon. The picnic table is quite small but mobile, so can be moved to shade. Restrooms and sinks for dishwashing are very close, just across the access road. Would stay here again.

This campground is perfect for a little more privacy. It was spacious and you aren't right next to your neighbor in comparison to Lodgepole. Amenities are as described. This campground is perfect for visiting General Grant. We did the Ella Fall's Loop Trail that runs by Azalea. I would stay here again if visiting this side of the park.

Nice campground conveniently located between Kings Canyon and Sequoia NPs.

For some reason this campground was much louder than most we've stayed in. It felt like everything echoed through the grounds. There were so many babies crying, dogs barking and just general noises people make throughout the day/night that we couldn't even tell where they were coming from. The host was actively walking around which was the first we'd seen on our trip. He caught that we had left our bear box open when we left (yikes) and closed it. Then was kind about letting us know. The sites were okay on spacing but it felt more open and exposed than other sites. The camper van in the site next to us was parked within 10 feet of out tent. Every time they got in and out of it (which was a LOT) the door was slammed shut, even during quiet hours. That was not fun. The sites were hit and miss on shade and it was really hot. July 2024
