Belknap Campground closed for repairs

SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST

The Belknap Campground, located on the Western Divide Ranger District, Giant Sequoia National Monument has been closed to campers to allow for two months of repair and construction work prior to the normal winter season closure.

The Sequoia National Forest has contracted with Combined Effort to construct sidewalks around the restroom in the campground to make it fully accessible. Work will start as early as Tuesday. The road going through Belknap Campground accessing the Nelson Trail will remain open, but travelers may experience delays.

Contract work will also occur at Upper Coffee Camp Day Use Area where a sidewalk will be installed around the existing new restroom facility to make it fully accessible. This work will require a temporary closure of the Upper Day Use Area while Lower Coffee Camp Day Use will continue to be available for recreational users.

For more information, call the Western Divide District office at 539-2607 during normal business hours 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday
