For the 2021 summer season, campgrounds in Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks will require reservations through www.recreation.gov, which can be made up to one month in advance.
The reservation system is intended to ensure proper COVID-19 mitigations and allow campers to plan with more accurate information about campsite availability, according to a press release by the National Park Service.
To cover online processing costs, fees for campgrounds newly added to www.recreation.gov will increase to $22 per night, an average increase of $4 from previous years.
“We know that many people have been coming to these parks for years and years, and look forward to their camping trips all year long, while many others are eagerly awaiting an opportunity to visit and camp for the first time,” says Superintendent Clay Jordan. “Park employees are working diligently to make campgrounds safe for campers and provide the dates that people need to plan their trips.”

I am a conservationist, scientist, science communicator, and natural sounds recordist working for the Sound and Light Ecology Team at Colorado State University. My educational background includes obtaining graduate degrees in ecology and evolutionary biology studying how humans impact species distribution and communication.
I manage the Listening Lab at CSU, where I lead a team of undergraduate students in helping the National Parks quantify noise pollution and its impact on wildlife and visitor enjoyment. In addition to this work, I spend countless days a year, traveling to wilderness areas to record natural sounds. These recordings are used to engage the public in conversations about public lands protection and conservation. My work is featured online and in visitor centers of Rocky Mountain National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Hawai i Volcanoes National Park, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.
