Introduction:
This beautiful campground is set at 4¸000 feet on the Middle fork of the North ForkTuleRiver. A creek runs through the campground and into the nearby TuleRiver. The TuleRiver is stocked with trout so there is plenty of fishing opportunities. There are also several hiking trails nearby¸ including the Rose Grave Trailhead. There is also a swimming hole and rock slides near camp which is the main attraction.
This camp is within the Giant Sequoia National Forest and there are many side trip options to other parts of this area.
Every effort to verify the correct coordinates and directions has been made to assist your travel but it is up to each individual person to research and finalize their trip to their personal confidence level. Driving in primitive areas at night can be very difficult if one is not use to the wilderness roads.
