Buckeye Flat Campground - Sequoia National Park

Buckeye Flat Campground is a small campground located near the lower entrance to Sequoia National Park in California.

This is a tent-only site due to the windy road you have to take to get to the campground. RV's and trailers are not going to make it around the tight corners.

The campground has great shade and is located above the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River.

There is a stand of large live oaks that provides great shade even during the heat of the summer.
