Wishon Campground and Cabin

• Info

• Open year around, Wishon Campground is located 12 miles east of Springville via State Highway 190 and Camp Wishon Road (M208) (along the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Tule River). Elevation is 4,000 feet.

  Wishon Cabin sits amid oaks and pines in the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains in the Sequoia National Forest. The cabin, perched at an elevation of 3,900 feet, is located at the entrance of the Wishon Campground, about an hour drive from Springville, California. The cabin was originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and was used by the Forest Service to house fire patrol, recreation workers and other personnel. It is now available for rent year-round, allowing visitors to enjoy the forest and available recreation.

  Wishon Cabin is withing walking distance to the Doyle Springs Trailhead. This trail travels north along the Middle Fork Tule River, through the Wishon Grove of giant sequoias, and eventually reaches the Mountain Home State Forest area, which also has many giant sequoia trees. Because of the cabin's elevation, visitors need to be prepared for a wide variety of weather, including warm afternoons, chilly nights and afternoon thunderstorms. It is also not unusual to have a dusting of snow during the fall and winter months.

  Popular activities in the immediate area include hiking and fishing. Nearby activities include horseback riding, mountain biking, rock climbing, hunting and more. Giant Sequoia groves are within a hour drive.
