Guide
Landslide is a nine-site Forest Service campground beside Landslide Creek, south of Hume Lake in the Giant Sequoia National Monument. At about 5,800 feet, it’s a simple wooded base for two nearby giant sequoia groves. The small layout and creekside setting are the draw; campers often describe it as quiet and secluded. Six sites are tent-only, and the maximum RV length is 16 feet.
Sites are on compacted dirt, with picnic tables, vault toilets and potable water. Each site has a bear box, and there’s a trash dumpster onsite. This is black bear country, so use the boxes for food. The campground fee is separate from any Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park entrance fee. Campfire permits are required for campfires, barbecues and camp stoves.
