In Dunlap, CA, at intersection of State Rt. 180 (Kings Canyon) and Dunlap Rd., take Rt. 180 16.1 miles to Kings Canyon /Sequoia National Parks entrance booth. Continue straight on Rt. 180 for 1.6 miles to Sequoia National Park sign. Turn right onto Generals Highway and go 12.1 miles to campground sign (disregard first sign at 10.8 miles). Turn right at sign into campground.
Stony Creek Campground is a wonderful option for campers that need to plan ahead and reserve a campsite. We stayed at site #36 and were very impressed with it's size and orientation to the rest of the campground. It was large enough to set up two tents and the site backed up to a wooded area with no sites which made it feel like one of the more secluded sites in the campground. The bathrooms were clean and the water supply was nearby. Campfire wood is for sale on the campsite and the camp hosts were very helpful, welcoming, and friendly!!
One night a doe and a couple of her fawns wandered through our campground. They were closely followed by a large buck. We will certainly be staying here again if we find ourselves in the area!
Enjoyed the view under the stars while being surrounded by the gorgeous pines standing tall....creek conveniently located along the lower side and great water holes in the upper portion across the highway.
Excellent campground in a centrally located location within the park. Not far from many landmarks and the visitors center. There are no swimming holes in lower Stoney. We were told by the campground hostess that upper Stoney does have a swimming hole. The campgrounds are well maintained and the bathrooms were clean and they have running water to wash your hands and face. There are water spigots in various areas of the campground. You must boil this water if your are going to use it for drinking. They also do not want you to wash your body or dishes exex at the spigots locations. The hostess was very kind and easy to talk with. They have fire wood for sale at the trailer right when you enter. We went in August and it was about 45 at night and 70-75 in the day. I would definitely recommend this campground and we will be back ASAP.
Lots of deer passing by in the early evening and centrally located to visit all that Sequoia N.P. has to offer. We stayed at site 48 which had a lot of open space - enough to set up a small badminton net. We were not close to the creek, however a restroom, water faucet, and trash bin were close by. Kids enjoyed the creek. Camp host was very nice and they keep the pit toilets very clean.
Love these campgrounds! Stayed at site 3 in stony creek and omg never getting another site!. This site has a TONNN of room. Spicket is near road and bear box is right inside the driveway. 2 smaller suvs can fit in parking space.
