Best For

Campers who want a Cedar Grove canyon experience but couldn't secure Sheep Creek or Sentinel. Moraine is effectively a third option in the same Cedar Grove cluster with nearly identical access, setting, and booking difficulty — useful as an alternative to book in parallel.

About This Campground

Moraine Campground is the third cedar grove canyon-floor campground alongside Sheep Creek and Sentinel, offering 117 standard sites with a 66-foot max vehicle limit and the same Kings River and canyon-wall scenery. The three campgrounds form a cluster that collectively provides nearly 300 sites at the bottom of Kings Canyon, and experienced campers often pursue all three simultaneously to maximize their odds. Moraine's 4.3 rating on 111 reviews is slightly lower than its neighbors, likely reflecting its position as the middle option rather than any meaningful quality difference. No booking window data is available, and Very High demand every day confirms it competes at the same intensity as the rest of Cedar Grove.

Planning Tips

When to Go

June through August is peak season with 4,000+ reservations per month at Lodgepole alone and zero site-nights currently available park-wide — if you must go in summer, target Crystal Springs (CA) for walk-up availability or Sentinel for its unusually high 44.5% July last-minute rate. October is the best shoulder-season bet: Azalea shows 35.9% last-minute availability across 1,036 October reservations, and Potwisha remains open year-round for winter visits with 59.3% last-minute fill in December. Avoid September for advance planning — it's the hardest month to book both Potwisha and Azalea, with each showing only 0.3% of reservations planned 6+ months out.

Getting Around

The free NPS shuttle operates seasonally in the Giant Forest and Grant Grove areas and is highly recommended — parking at popular trailheads fills by mid-morning on summer weekends. Private vehicles are required to reach Cedar Grove (Kings Canyon Scenic Byway), Mineral King (a narrow, mostly unpaved 25-mile spur off Highway 198), and the South Fork area. The Mineral King Road is explicitly not recommended for RVs and trailers, and vehicles over 22 feet should avoid it entirely — plan for a 90-minute drive each way from Three Rivers. Cedar Grove Road closes in winter, so Sentinel, Sheep Creek, Moraine, and Canyon View are inaccessible outside the summer season.
