The Sequoia High Sierra Camp, a 40-acre property set within the heart of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, includes a central dining lodge, a bathhouse, and 35 platform sites for furnished tent cabins. Approvals are in place to add up to 50 tent cabin sites.
A unique opportunity to acquire a luxury glamping resort in California’s High Sierra has emerged, with a property located inside a national park now available for $5.35 million. The Sequoia High Sierra Camp, a 40-acre property set within the heart of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, is privately owned and offers a rare chance to operate a hospitality business in such a protected area. The camp is nestled on a high slope and includes a central dining lodge, a bathhouse, and 35 platform sites for furnished tent cabins.
This glamping resort is unusual due to its location within the National Park Service, a rarity for a private business. The current owners, a couple from Tennessee, established the camp 25 years ago when permits for such ventures were easier to obtain. At an elevation of 8,300 feet, the camp can be reached via a one-mile trail from a parking area 13 miles into the park, near the towering Mitchell Peak.
The resort offers guests an outdoor experience combined with resort-style amenities. Visitors, often couples, paid $350 per night to stay in canvas bungalows situated on the mountainside with views of Kings Canyon. Activities included hiking, fishing, bird-watching, horseback riding, and dining at the lodge, which features a commercial kitchen and a full-time chef. However, the business has been on pause since the pandemic, with additional setbacks caused by significant snowfall two winters ago that damaged some of the tent cabins.
The property is seen as an ideal investment for those looking to expand in the outdoor hospitality industry. With approvals in place to add up to 50 tent cabin sites, there is significant potential for growth. The camp’s secluded setting makes it a distinctive offering for those seeking a deep connection with nature.
