The Jump Up Lookout Free Camping Area is a popular spot for campers and travelers. The gravel road to the campsite is generally in good condition, with some corrugations, but most reviewers found it accessible with a 2WD vehicle. However, one reviewer noted that the road can be rough and recommended caution when driving. The campsite itself is beautiful, with breathtaking views and a quiet atmosphere, especially at night. Some reviewers reported hearing dingoes howling in the distance.
There are no toilet facilities, so campers must be self-sufficient. Fires are allowed, but some reviewers noted that the firewood supply is limited. The campsite is a great alternative to the expensive resort near Kings Canyon, and it's relatively close to the canyon. Some reviewers recommended reaching it via the 2nd entrance suitable for 2WD, which offers a beautiful view of the canyon.
Overall, the Jump Up Lookout Free Camping Area is a good spot for campers who are prepared to be self-sufficient and don't mind rough roads. With stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere, it's a great place to stay for a night or two.
