Best Time to Camp at Landslide
Summer brings perfect camping weather to this mountain haven, with crisp mornings giving way to pleasantly warm afternoons that rarely become uncomfortable thanks to the elevation. As autumn approaches, the forest transforms into a tapestry of gold and amber. Winter wraps the campground in a pristine blanket of snow—averaging over 3.5 inches during early season storms—creating a wonderland for those brave enough to experience the Sierra's quieter months. Spring awakens the forest with wildflowers and rushing creeks fed by snowmelt.

About Landslide
Perched at 5,800 feet in the heart of Giant Sequoia National Monument, Landslide Campground offers an intimate escape into California's pristine wilderness. This tent-only sanctuary invites adventurers to disconnect from the digital world and immerse themselves in a cathedral of mixed conifers, where the only sounds are rustling pine needles and the gentle whisper of mountain breezes. Each non-electric site has been thoughtfully positioned to preserve the natural tranquility that makes this high-country retreat so special.
The campground offers tent-only, non-electric campsites. RV or glamping accommodations are not mentioned.
Historical SignificanceLandslide Campground serves as your gateway to some of America's most treasured natural monuments. Just a short drive away stand the legendary General Sherman and General Grant Trees—ancient giants that have witnessed over 2,000 years of history. These living monuments, protected within the Giant Sequoia National Monument, represent not just California's natural heritage but humanity's connection to the timeless grandeur of the natural world. The area has long been sacred to indigenous peoples and continues to inspire all who walk among these gentle giants.

As autumn approaches, the forest transforms into a tapestry of gold and amber. Winter wraps the campground in a pristine blanket of snow—averaging over 3.5 inches during early season storms—creating a wonderland for those brave enough to experience the Sierra's quieter months. Spring awakens the forest with wildflowers and rushing creeks fed by snowmelt.
ElevationAt 5,800 feet above sea level, Landslide Campground occupies that sweet spot in the Sierra Nevada where summer heat gives way to mountain coolness. This elevation creates an ideal microclimate—warm enough for comfortable camping from late spring through early fall, yet high enough to escape the valley's sweltering temperatures. Winter transforms the campground into a snow-dusted retreat, while the thin mountain air offers incredibly clear night skies perfect for stargazing.
Natural Features and SceneryThe melodic babbling of Landslide Creek provides a natural soundtrack to your camping experience, its crystal-clear waters carving through a landscape dominated by towering pines, firs, and cedars. The mixed conifer forest creates a natural amphitheater of green, offering both shade and shelter. A short drive reveals the sapphire waters of Hume Lake, perfect for afternoon swims or sunset paddles. Beyond, the incomparable groves of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks await, where ancient sequoias reach skyward like nature's own skyscrapers, their massive trunks defying comprehension.
Geological RegionLandslide Campground occupies a unique position within the geological wonderland of Giant Sequoia National Monument, where millions of years of tectonic activity have sculpted dramatic granite peaks and deep river valleys. The campground itself sits along Landslide Creek, whose name hints at the dynamic geological forces that continue to shape this landscape. The surrounding mixed conifer forest thrives in decomposed granite soils, creating perfect conditions for the diverse ecosystem that includes not just the famous giant sequoias nearby, but also sugar pines, white firs, and incense cedars that provide a verdant canopy overhead.
