Sequoia National Forest reminds visitors to recreate responsibly this Memorial Day weekend

The Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest; please plan before visiting. Check conditions in advance with your local District’s Ranger Station by visiting the Forest’s website, Facebook, or calling the district’s visitor center.

We are committed to providing customer service and creating recreation opportunities. Help us keep your favorite recreation site pristine by practicing Leave No Trace principles. Please recreate responsibly by packing out your trash and parking only in designated areas.
Many recreation sites, campgrounds, and roads across the Forest are now open. Popular campgrounds may quickly fill over the weekend; however, there are many camping opportunities throughout the Forest.
Most sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but reservations may be obtained by calling (877) 444-6777 or visiting www.recreation.gov.
Information on dispersed camping opportunities is available on this app and on our Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/recmain/sequoia/recreation.
