By the 1990s the Park Service had resolved to remove the development, and demolition began in 1997.
 It was completed in 2000 for the Giant Forest Lodge area with the removal of all buildings, roads, and infrastructure.
New development was centered around the Gilbert Stanley Underwood Giant Forest Village Market building at nearby Camp Kaweah, which became the Giant Forest Museum in 2001.
The facility is connected to the Giant Forest by shuttle bus.

The visitor accommodations were replaced by Wuksachi Village, located about five miles to the north and well away from the sequoia grove.

The demolition of the Giant Forest infrastructure is noteworthy as the most visible clash between the Park Service's role as a guardian of natural resources and its role as custodian of the National Register of Historic Places, when it had to determine which interest was more crucial.
