Black Gulch Access

Black Gulch Access provides dispersed camping and river access along the Lower Kern River within Sequoia National Forest, accessible via Forest Route 26S06.

The area features primitive conditions with no developed facilities, making it suitable primarily for high-clearance vehicles and tent camping rather than large RVs or trailers.

Camping is free and first-come, first-served, though campfire permits are required and the challenging dirt road access means the area remains less crowded than developed campgrounds.
