Directions to Activity:

Both roads leading to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks approach from the west. They are open all day, every day, depending on weather. From the east, no roads reach the park boundary.

Arriving from the south:
- From highways 65 or 99, go east on Highway 198E. Follow signs to Sequoia National Park to the park entrance.
- Vehicles over 22 feet long should approach the parks from Highway 180E rather than Highway 198E, due to steep curving roads.
- Highway 180E may be reached from Highway 198E using Highway 63N from Visalia.
Arriving from the north:
- From Fresno, take Highway 180E, following signs to Kings Canyon National Park. Once in the park, follow signs to Sequoia National Park and Lodgepole.
It takes about 1 1/4 hours to drive to the campground from the south (198E) park entrance or 45 minutes from the north (180E) park entrance.
The main park road, the Generals Highway, connects the north and south entrances. Winter storms may cause temporary closures from Grant Grove to Lodgepole.
