We had a great visit to the Lodgepole Campground right in the heart of the Sequoia National Park. Our site #164 had great proximity to the start of the Tokopah Falls Trailhead and other hikes as well as easy access to the Free Shuttle. We have a Travel Trailer that's about 29 feet total length and we were able to park it without any issues. The pathways feel narrow when driving but the backup area for this site made it easy. The slab was also relatively level which was great for parking! Our truck was able to fit at an angle in front of it or we also used the close-by overflow parking as needed. The site felt large with plenty of space for lounging outside, enjoying the picnic table and fireplace. We even saw a few deer by the river close to our site. The bathrooms were as expected for a campground but there was no ledge to place bathroom items such as small face/hand towels, toiletries, ect. The staff was relaxed and helpful! We also used the showers at the Lodgepole Market - make sure to bring quarters and there were no benches in the shower rooms so plan ahead for a shower caddy that can sit on the floor. Would recommend this campground and campsite! Was an overall great stay! Loved the location!

Campground is beautiful. Spot 122 is nice and elevated, 50 feet from the car with a view of the waterfall. Distance from neighbors is good and a short walk to bathroom. Showers were clean and busy, but the line moved ok.

Campground is excellent. Sites are pretty tight for larger trailers. Bathrooms are kind of far from some of the sites. Showers are crowded and far. They’re public and shared with day use being at the main market.

This is the best campground in Sequoia National Park. I loved the easy shuttle access and multiple trailheads located at the campground. There weren’t any mosquitos and there weren’t too many bugs. Also, the market/grill was a great amenity as well as the showers.

- Dangerous Rivers! Many drowning victims were playing near rivers. Rivers present a far greater danger than lakes or pools. Surfaces may look calm, but strong currents often run below. Be cautious walking near rivers as rocks can be slippery. Getting out of a cold, swift river is often impossible. Falling Objects - Don't linger under dead, cracked, or broken branches. Run if you hear cracks or snapping from tree roots, trunks, or branches (know that sometimes there is no sound, and very little time to react). Report falling branches or trees to a ranger.
- A California state fishing license is required to fish in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and Sequoia National Forest lakes and streams. Fishing licenses may be available at National Park and National Forest markets.
