Sequoia National Park, and neighboring Kings Canyon National Park, might be two of the country’s most overlooked gems. They’re home to the world’s largest trees (by volume), 14,000-foot summits, and hundreds of miles of stunning hiking trails, yet both are often passed over by road-tripping travelers making a beeline for the more famous Yosemite, a little under three hours south.
If you’re interested in experiencing the majesty of California’s Sierra Nevada mountains and want to avoid crowds, there’s no better place to hike and camp in the state. However, Sequoia’s remote location means that finding impeccable accommodations can be tricky, especially if you’re traveling with a group or seeking special amenities, like a hot tub.
For this list, we narrowed down the contenders to bring you the best places to stay in and around Sequoia National Park (and Kings Canyon, as an added bonus). Whether you’re seeking a romantic couple’s getaway, a chic Airstream, or a cabin fit for a family, we’ve uncovered 24 incredible options for every kind of traveler.
