Bearpaw High Sierra Camp
Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Park, CA
Bearpaw High Sierra Camp is a backcountry tent camp in Sequoia National Park, reached only by hiking roughly 11.5 miles from the Crescent Meadow trailhead, about 10 miles south of Wuksachi Lodge. There is no road and no vehicle or motorcycle access anywhere near the camp itself; a rider would need to park at the Crescent Meadow trailhead and complete the hike on foot, a route the park describes as moderate and taking around seven hours one way.
The camp sits at about 7,800 feet elevation and operates seasonally from June through September, with six tent cabins on wooden platforms with canvas siding. A free wilderness permit, picked up at Lodgepole Visitor Center, is required even for camp guests.
