It's a universal law of camping that the harder a place is to get to, the less likely you are to get stuck pitching your tent next to an RV packed with music-blasting, generator-abusing city dweller types. The campgrounds at Sequoia and Kings Canyon are no exception. Since these parks cater to every kind of traveler, those seeking solitude among the tall trees will want to select carefully from among the 14 campgrounds.

Features to look for: small size, distance from park entrances, and a minimum of amenities (nothing sends potentially obnoxious campers scurrying faster than an absence of flush toilets). Follow these guidelines, and you'll be left to the sights and sounds and smells of Sequoia and Kings Canyon as they were meant to be enjoyed.
