# AutoCamp Sequoia Arrives With Premium Pricing to Fix National Park's Lodging Crisis
AutoCamp Sequoia opens a 44-unit glamping resort near Three Rivers, California, directly addressing the chronic accommodation shortage plaguing Sequoia National Park. The property features vintage Airstream trailers and modern cabins positioned 20 minutes from the park's Giant Forest entrance.
Nightly rates run $349 to $699 depending on season and unit type, placing AutoCamp in the luxury segment. Standard Airstreams start at $349, while premium deluxe trailers and newly built cabins command $499 to $699. These prices exceed typical national park lodging, but the resort solves a genuine infrastructure problem. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks receive over 2 million annual visitors yet offer only 400 park-owned rooms. Summer months see near-total occupancy, forcing travelers to Three Rivers, Visalia, or further south for alternatives.
AutoCamp's Sequoia location operates year-round with heated trailers and full amenities. Units include climate control, bathrooms, kitchenettes, and outdoor fire pits. The property provides a pool, hot tub, restaurant, and hiking trail access. Rates include parking passes but require separate national park entrance fees ($35 per vehicle).
For budget-conscious travelers, nearby Three Rivers offers modest motels from $100 to $150 nightly. However, those establishments book solidly throughout peak season and often lack character. AutoCamp positions itself as a middle ground between highway chain hotels and the impossible park-reservation lottery.
The glamping trend continues expanding near America's most visited parks. Competitors like Under Canvas (Grand Canyon, Yellowstone) and Tenaya Lodge (Yosemite) employ similar models. AutoCamp's partnership with
