People are drawn here for many reasons.

Endless miles of hiking and biking trails take you right through groves of Giant Sequoias... bring the family to enjoy our awesome campgrounds and fishing, or sit by a stream and observe nature doing what it does best. You may want to enjoy a drive through Sequoia Crest and view the big trees right from from the comfort of your car.

For more adventure, we have groomed snowmobile trails and cross country skiing in the Winter, and challenging mountain biking trails. There is also world renowned rock climbing in Ponderosa and the magestic Dome Rock for unlimited vistas and stargazing. For an extreme adventure, experienced kayakers brave the fast waters and steep drops of the class V Tule River below Pierpoint Springs on Hwy. 190. Take the 1.5 mile hike to the Jordon Peak Lookout Tower that climbs to 9,115 ft. elevation for a "top of the world" experience. For a hike with death defying drops and non stop breathtaking views, check out The Needles! Rent a vacation cabin and stay awhile!

A small Village with the will to stay that way...
A major attraction is that there can never be any more development, except building on existing lots, thus creating exclusivity. This will always keep the area from growing into the "giant resorts" that so many other mountain communities have become.

The Camp Nelson/Pierpoint Springs elevation is about 4,800 feet, where snow is frequent in winter months. All roads are well maintained year-round. Temperatures seldom exceed 90 (F) in the Summer and seldom drops below 20 in the Winter. A favorite escape from the Valley heat, swim and play in the cool Tule river.

The community of Camp Nelson is located 45 minutes east of Porterville, California on Highway 190, in eastern Tulare County. The community was established in 1886 and has operated continually since that time as a destination resort. It is now incorporated into the new Giant Sequoia National Monument and will benefit from federal promotional budgets.

Camp Nelson and adjacent villages have 1,723 parcels of land, 900+ homes and 300+ permanent residents. 500 of those homes and 180 residents are in Camp Nelson itself. At any given time, the population may be 3 - 5,000 because of vacation home and campground use. There are four local campgrounds. The area's aesthetics and enormous and popular trail system keep campgrounds well used in summer months.
