This is one of the main destination points when traveling in Kings Canyon National Park. To get here, you drive down the twisty mountain road into Kings Canyon, seeing some awesome cliffs which are the sides of a very deep canyon... deeper than the Grand Canyon. Pretty soon, the road comes down to the Kings River itself which is a very wild, stone strewn river that is majestic to watch and loud to listen to.
We camp in the campgrounds of Cedar Grove nearly every summer. They are not very crowded, but offer quiet beauty and fun activities nearby.
Cedar Grove has a small store, grill and lodge with lots of picnic areas near the river. There is also a small visitor center near Sentinel Campground. The thing my kids like the best at Cedar Grove is the ice cream you can buy from the store. What more could they want?
In the heart of Kings Canyon, this is a great place to enjoy the beauty of the canyon. A wonderful spot to take in waterfalls and granite cliffs. Cedar Grove also is an ideal base for hiking and biking.
