Accommodations:  Mountain Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-4)

Please note: Camp Nelson is not in Sequoia National Park. We are in the Sequoia National Forest. We have many Giant Sequoias and the Tule river.

If you want to see the "Big Trees" without the crowds and hassles, come to Camp Nelson. We have 100's of big trees including the world's 5th largest Giant Sequoia- The Stagg Tree just 20 minutes from the cabin.

This charming cabin is very secluded and is just a short stroll to the Tule River. It is set on 3 acres and backs to hundreds of acres of Forest Service land.

You will enjoy mountain views and complete privacy during your stay. You can walk to the river in just a few minutes and fish, or hike and bike the many trails. Or simply sit on the deck and take in the warm mountain sun and relax with only the sounds of nature. No cars, no people.

In the evening watch the glowing sun sets while you dine on the deck or in the cozy cabin by a fire. Fall asleep to the starry skies from your upstairs bed. The moon will light your room mid night. The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed with a metal garden frame and a nook with a double futon bed (comfy) separated by a sheer curtain. A very cozy niche to curl up and read a book.

The decor is fun and inviting. The down filled couch looks out the wall of windows out to the mountains to the south west. You will be treated with Beef Jerky made in Camp Nelson From Judi's Tule River Snacks. There is a dining area table that seats 4, or a table for two with a view!

There is a mountain diner about 10 minutes away that is open 7 days a week, and a small market and lounge that sometimes has live music on weekends.

We are located in Camp Nelson at approximately 5,000 feet in the South Sierra in the Giant Sequoia National Monument. We have nice summers and beautiful mild winters with just the right amount of snow. The driveway is perfect for sledding! There are many miles of hiking trails, some take you to the Giant Sequoias (Trail of 100 giants). There will be a trail guide in the cabin. The Tule river is stocked with rainbow trout and there are several types of native trout as well.

Drive uphill to Ponderosa (at 7,000 feet) where you can snowshoe, cross country ski and snow mobile in the winter. In the summer there is horseback riding and of course hiking and picnicking in the meadows.

  • My wife, son and I stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and had a blast! The home is very cute and situated so nicely for our dog to play out in the forest. The river was very close and lots and lots of hiking trails. We'll definitely be coming back :)

  • Had a nice week here in early summer 2009. All you could want in a furnished vacation cabin with National Forest close by and the National Parks reachable via a day trip. The kitchen is adequately appointed to produce good chow, the deck inviting and spacious enough for relaxing comfort, the bath yielded a hot shower every morning, and the couch is a comfy spot to read of an evening. Good size for by your lonesome, a couple, or a small family. Found rates to be competitive, no hassle arrangements, owner gave a welcome telephone call on arrival evening and otherwise had the place to myself - a most relaxing week! Recommended!

  • We stayed here for Valentines Day in 2009 and it was A BLAST. The place is a great value and very well equipped. Mike and Judi are very classy people. They treated us like family and we look forward to staying there in the summer/fall as well!
