Camp Nelson Vacation Guide
Camp Nelson is a small mountain community in the Sequoia National Forest, nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains about 16 miles above Springville, California. The community gets its name from John M Nelson, who filed for homestead here in 1886 with his son Donald and daughter Emma. They initially qualified the homestead by commercially producing apples and pears.
