A picturesque camp in the beautiful red fir forest of Sequoia National Park, Camp Wolverton is also a gateway to the wilderness of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
The camp has 3 sites with a total capacity of 70 people.
Hot showers are included in your camping fee, but no electricity
or RV hook up is available. Open fires are allowed in
existing
campfire pits, except during periods
of extreme
fire hazard.
Troops and families find a variety of uses for Camp Wolverton. Most people use
it as a base camp prior to leaving on a long term hike
- spending only
a
night or two in camp. Others spend an entire week, setting up their own summer camp. Their adult and
boy leaders
provide the in-camp programs while Park Service's Ranger
walks are available to compliment the troop's programs.
Nearby attractions include the world's largest living tree, a limestone cavern, historic buildings, a nature center, fishable streams, and Tokapah Falls.
Backpacking opportunities
abound
at Camp Wolverton. The camp is only a quarter of a mile from
the Pear Lake and Moose Lake trailhead. The Twin Lakes
trailhead is one mile away. The Silver Bearpaw, Silver
Cloud and
Wolverton-to-Whitsett hikes all start from this camp.
Alternatively,
bring
your unit or your family for a week or weekend of fun in
the
High Sierra! Many troops plan weekend family camps at Wolverton
- why don't you?
Camp Wolverton is open from mid-June until late-August. Plan to arrive
at camp before dark. Park Service regulations require that all foodstuffs must be stored in
bear-proof lockers. Each campsite includes a bear-proof food locker and there is a large walk-in food locker in central camp.
