Azalea Campground — Attraction in Dinuba

This place is nice. $22 per night. Winter is first come, first serve. Summer is reservation only. Each site has a table and fire/grill ring. Lots of bees and bugs but I never got stung or anything. I just gently waved them away and they didn't come back until I had food/drinks out. Plenty of site seeing not far from the campground...so you can drive to some scenic places and then come back. There is also a trail that goes thru the campground. You can walk along that to get to some other places if you like hiking. It is very well marked and they have reflectors on the trees leading towards the General Grant Tree. However, once you pass the Grant Village (opposite direction of Grant Tree) there are no reflectors on the trees, the trail narrows and becomes more challenging. I turned around once I got to a steep hike down...my legs were already sore from the walking and I didn't want to hike back up. However, another hiker did say there are some cool sites a couple miles along that trail. Oh and I had zero cell service...so keep and get familiar with the map they provide when you enter the Sierra National Forrest. There is a entrance fee if you don't have a Annual Pass. I think it's like $30 bucks or something for 7 days. Annual Pass is $80 for the year and good for all...

Beautiful place to visit!! Wow, it's March 2015 & we're camp'g here at this time of the year? 🤔 Normally there's about 7-10+ ft of snow & now there's only small amounts of snow, it looks as if winter wasn't here. It's sad 😕!! The weather feels like it's May with Sunny blue sky & temp at Hi 55°, Lo 37° that's campfire weather. We had a wonderful 4 days & so did the other campers we met. We've met many people that are very friendly from other states, countries, & even locals thanks to Bob who's will'g to help others pass'g thru. Also want to thank the staff for open'g up the outside sink faucets for campers to use. We'll return dur'g the summer months for vacation. Even though it's limited to 14 days, we'll enjoy 2 weeks camp'g under the stars & trees. Since we're only 1½ hrs away we'll drive up just to get away for the day. We Love spend'g time here cause there are still lots of other places to see & it's so relax'g here. To be here in the wilderness among the huge trees in Sequoia-King's Canyon National park is Great! It's 1 of our favorites & can't wait to see all the other great places in the USA in the com'g...

This campground is right in the middle of everything, and very close to a little village with a market, gift shop, and visitor's center as well as hiking trails and General Grant Tree.

Pros: Easy to find Close to shopping and information Campsites are roomy Close to hiking paths/trails and General Grant Tree. Many different types of wildlife and bugs to see and experience. Not right on top of the village/visitor's center, so fairly quiet and there are extra places to park.

Cons: (mostly toilet related) There are only 2 restroom buildings for the entire campground and they are both at the entrance to the campground. It is a large campground and our site was a quarter of a mile away from the restroom.

Each restroom only has 2 toilets per gender, so there is often a wait to use the facilities if you are tent camping or if you don't have a toilet in your trailer. Additionally, they have two large outside sinks for dishwashing which only run cold water.

There is no RV dump in the campsite. The closest free RV dump is an hour away, and the closer dump is a timed pay system which charges you...
