About this campground
Nelder Grove Campground offers a peaceful, primitive camping experience in the Sierra National Forest adjacent to the historic Nelder Grove of Giant Sequoias. The small campground features 7 free campsites nestled among pine and fir trees along California Creek. The location provides direct access to explore one of California's treasured giant sequoia groves, with various nature trails, historic sites, and the Bull Buck Trail nearby. The campground sits at elevation in the Nelder Grove Historical Area, which underwent extensive fuels reduction and wildfire risk mitigation work completed in December 2025.

The grove was closed for restoration work from October 2023 through December 2025, with treatments covering nearly 700 acres to protect the historic giant sequoias. Visitors should stay on established trails and behind fences protecting the sequoia trees. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water, requiring campers to bring their own water supply. The campground is not recommended for RVs or trailers due to access road conditions. Road access is typically available May through December, though seasonal weather conditions and winter snow can affect accessibility.
