How to get to AutoCamp Sequoia from the airports
The closest major airport is Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) — plan on about a 60–70 minute drive to AutoCamp Sequoia. Visalia Municipal Airport (VIS) is a smaller regional alternative (roughly 45–60 minutes). There is no regular hotel airport shuttle, so rent a car, use a rideshare/taxi, or plan to take the seasonal Sequoia Shuttle from Visalia/Three Rivers in summer.

Driving directions and road notes
AutoCamp Sequoia's address is 40457 Sierra Dr, Three Rivers, CA 93271. Most navigation systems route you to Sierra Drive/Three Rivers and then to the Clubhouse entrance.
Driving from the valley up into Sequoia National Park involves winding, sometimes steep roads (for trips beyond Three Rivers into the park). If you plan to continue into Sequoia National Park, be prepared for mountain driving and variable conditions.
- All guests check in at the Clubhouse; follow signs to the central lot and front desk.
- A car is recommended to reach and get around the area except when using the seasonal Sequoia Shuttle (late May–mid-September).
- Carry chains in winter if you intend to drive into the high country — park road conditions can change quickly.
| From | Key road notes |
|---|---|
| FAT (Fresno) | Mostly valley roads to Three Rivers; then local roads to the Clubhouse. |
| VIS (Visalia) | Shorter valley drive toward Three Rivers; seasonal shuttle available in summer to the park. |
| To Giant Forest (in-park) | Narrow, winding mountain road; about 1.5 hours from Three Rivers to the Giant Forest. |
Ground transport options (rental car, taxi, rideshare)

If you prefer not to drive, check taxi and rideshare availability at your arrival airport — services are generally available at Fresno and Visalia, but options and cost vary.
- Rent a car at FAT or VIS for the most flexibility — AutoCamp provides free self parking and complimentary EV charging.

| Taxi / Rideshare | Useful for one-way transfers; check availability and fares at arrival. |
| Shuttle (seasonal) | Sequoia Shuttle runs from Visalia/Three Rivers to the park in summer — not a regular airport shuttle. |
Using the seasonal Sequoia Shuttle
A seasonal Sequoia Shuttle connects Visalia, Lemon Cove, and Three Rivers to the Giant Forest area in Sequoia National Park between late May and mid-September. This shuttle is aimed at park access rather than airport transfers.
If you arrive at Visalia and plan a park day without driving into the park yourself, you can combine local transport to Three Rivers with the shuttle — reservations are required for the shuttle service.
- Sequoia Shuttle season: late May through mid-September (dates vary by year).
- Shuttle connects Visalia, Lemon Cove, and Three Rivers with the park; it is not an AutoCamp-provided airport shuttle.
- Reserve shuttle seats in advance when planning to use it for park access.
| Useful for | When to use |
|---|---|
| Park day trips from Visalia/Three Rivers | Summer shuttle season (late May–mid-September) |
| Airport transfer | Not designed as an airport shuttle — combine with local taxi/rideshare if needed |
| Avoiding park road driving | Yes — good option to reach Giant Forest without driving up Generals Highway |
