What Guests Are Saying
Moraine Campground offers a spacious and well-maintained environment, perfect for family camping and exploring nearby Kings Canyon. Campers appreciate the clean facilities, excellent hiking opportunities, and beautiful views, with a refreshing river nearby for cooling off. However, the campground is known for bear activity, which can lead to noise from car alarms at night, and some facilities may need improvement, such as bathroom cleanliness and better food storage education. Overall, it’s a lovely camping spot with room for improvement.

Great campground! Be sure to pack up and store everything in the bear box. A large bear went through camp one night we were there. Be sure to head down to Roads End to enjoy a near swimming hole.

We were fortunate to find 2 nights available on an August weekend and weren't picking about the site itself. Although the campers across from us continued to use their generator at all hours of the night and my wire finally got up and out of the tent after midnight and banged on their camper door to plead with them to turn it off, they complied. But there didn't seem to be a camp host anywhere within the camp so we couldn't take it up or buy firewood like we expected to with the host. All in all the campsite was spacious and bathrooms were decent although it would be nice to have a light inside.

Overall pretty good experience. Cool river water is a welcome respite from pretty warm weather. Doesn’t seem like restrooms are maintained as well as in the past. Not sure if it’s staff shortage or apathetic employees.
Had contact with two rangers on separate occasions. Older guy was amiable and seemed eager to provide pertinent camp protocol, etc.
The other was quite rude. Fellow camper pitched a tent on a site clearly marked “available for one night only”. In a huff, the ranger took down the sign and told camper to vacate, that the site was reserved. In the five days we were there at the campground, no one occupied that particular site.
Bear sightings on four separate occasions. Easily dispersed with a bit of noise. Noobs rely on car alarms which were pretty annoying.
Don’t feed the bears, people. That sentence takes on a whole new meaning without the comma, don’t you think?

Nice campground surrounded by the mountains. Campsite 42 is mostly sunny with some trees near the parking space where you can put your tent to have some shade late afternoon. It was one of the noisier campground we’ve been in Kings Canyon due to large groups (>20 people per site) listening to loud music late in the night. Due to this, there were waiting lines at the restroom most of the time.

General
- If your campsite remains vacant for 24 hours after your arrival date it will be cancelled and made available on rec.gov. You will be charged for the first night's campsite fee and a $10 cancellation fee, all other fees after that will be refunded. Recreation.gov policies apply to all reservations, cancellations, refunds and date changes. Call (559) 565-3792 if you will be arriving 24 hours after your arrival date so your site won't be cancelled. Upon making a campground reservation: Site occupants agree to follow ALL campground rules. Failure to comply may result in a fine. You are responsible for your guests.
- Quiet Hours 10pm to 6am- Music, talking, and generators should not be audible beyond your immediate campsite. Unreasonable noise is prohibited any time of day.
- Tire Chains may be required at any time. Be prepared at any time of year for a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. Check Road Conditions at nps.gov/seki. Vehicles longer than 22 feet (including trailers) are not advised between Potwisha Campground and the Giant Forest Museum. Dangerous Rivers! Many drowning victims were playing near rivers. Rivers present a far greater danger than lakes or pools. Surfaces may look calm, but strong currents often run below. Be cautious walking near rivers as rocks can be slippery. Getting out of a cold, swift river is often impossible. Falling Objects- Don't linger under dead, cracked, or broken branches. Run if you hear cracks or snapping from tree roots, trunks, or branches (know that sometimes there is no sound, and very little time to react). Report falling branches or trees to a ranger. A California state fishing license is required to fish in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and Sequoia National Forest lakes and streams. Fishing licenses may be available at National Park and National Forest markets.
