About Aspen Hollow Group (Sequoia National Forest, Ca)
Nestled high in the Sequoia National Forest at 5,300 feet, Aspen Hollow Group Campground offers an unforgettable gathering place for families, friends, and outdoor enthusiasts. This expansive group site welcomes up to 100 campers across 35 vehicle spaces, making it the perfect basecamp for large reunions or group adventures. Just a stone's throw from Kings Canyon National Park and the sparkling waters of Hume Lake, you'll find all the essentials for comfortable camping: vault toilets, sturdy picnic tables, secure food storage lockers to keep wildlife at bay, and fresh drinking water to fill your bottles after a day of exploration.
Aspen Hollow Group Campground is primarily designed for group camping, accommodating large groups in a forested, natural setting.
Historical SignificanceStanding in the shadow of the world's largest living things, Aspen Hollow carries the legacy of the mighty giant sequoias that have watched over these mountains for millennia. This corner of the southern Sierra Nevada has long captivated visitors with its ancient groves, where trees that sprouted before the Roman Empire still reach toward the sky. The campground's name honors these natural monuments that have inspired generations of conservationists, adventurers, and nature lovers.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms this mountain retreat into a camper's paradise, with crystalline skies greeting visitors 83% of the time during peak season. Wake up to crisp morning air hovering around 39°F—perfect for that first cup of camp coffee—before the day warms to a comfortable 63°F, ideal for hiking beneath the towering sequoias. The campground embraces its seasonal rhythm, closing its gates when winter's chill arrives, ensuring your visit coincides with nature at its most welcoming.
ElevationPerched at 5,300 feet above sea level, Aspen Hollow offers a refreshing escape from valley heat and crowds. This sweet spot elevation delivers crisp, pine-scented air and temperatures that make both daytime adventures and evening campfires equally enjoyable. From this vantage point, sweeping views of the surrounding peaks and forests remind you why John Muir called these mountains the 'Range of Light.'
Natural Features and SceneryYour home base in the Giant Sequoia National Monument places you among Earth's most magnificent living giants, where ancient sequoia groves create natural cathedrals of bark and branch. Adventure beckons in every direction: cast a line for trout in the pristine waters of Hume Lake, launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle, or cool off with an afternoon swim. For those seeking cascading beauty, the thundering waters of Salmon Creek Falls and the misty veil of Grizzly Falls await nearby, offering picture-perfect rewards for short hikes through the forest.
Geological RegionAspen Hollow claims its place in one of California's most treasured landscapes—the Giant Sequoia National Monument, where ancient geology meets living history. Tucked against the boundary of Kings Canyon National Park and overlooking the Kings River Watershed, this remarkable region showcases nature's artistry on a grand scale. Here, millions of years of geological forces have carved deep canyons and lifted peaks skyward, creating the perfect conditions for giant sequoias to thrive. The nearby waterfalls, including the dramatic Salmon Creek Falls and the aptly named Grizzly Falls, demonstrate the ongoing power of water to shape this mountain landscape.
