Limestone Campground offers a serene, primitive escape nestled among oak trees and gray pines in the heart of the Sequoia National Forest. Situated along the banks of the Upper Kern River, this federally managed site is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy a rugged, back-to-basics experience. The surrounding terrain provides a beautiful backdrop for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the West.
