About Lodgepole Campground-sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

Lodgepole Campground is located in the breathtaking Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in central California's rugged Sierra Nevada range. Lodgepole is perched on the banks of the scenic and lengthy Marble Fork of the Kaweah River, at an elevation of 6,700 ft. The inspiring Giant Forest Grove and the mighty General Sherman Tree - the world's largest tree in volume - are just two miles from the campground.

Lodgepole Campground is highly praised for its beautiful natural surroundings, convenient amenities like the market and cafe, and excellent hiking access, making it a favorite among visitors. Campers enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, respectful fellow campers, and opportunities for stargazing and wildlife sightings, including bears. While some noted the close proximity of campsites and occasional cleanliness issues in the bathrooms, the overall experience is considered memorable and worth recommending.

Great place, location, view. Best place to camp if you want to see sequoia national park.

Everything was good except:
-the showers did not have the hot water and were freezing
-one of the restrooms looked like someone exploded there

Fantastic location, friendly rangers. Would‘ve liked to stay longer. Showers only in the Visitor Center nearby - but you have to pay.

Great location near the river! The tent pad is large, but overall this site is a small footprint with the table and fire ring. Perfect for two people, larger groups might feel cramped. No privacy with neighboring sites, but to be expected at a busy National Park campsite during the summer.

The campsite (005) is very central in the campground, near the visitor center, ranger shack, and bathrooms. A potable water faucet is shared with campsite 003. The dishwashing area is about a 5 min walk away. Overall a beautiful comfortable campsite but is near lots of people and other campsites.

The sites are separated in sections which gives some privacy. Many are not shaded so bringing a pop up shade pavilion is very helpful if you can. A creek is nearby and public showers are close at the Lodgepole Visitors center. Showers are $1 in quarters for 3 min so bring quarters!

Site #97 was a gem in a busy campground where there isn't typically much privacy! The site has a short walk down from your parking spot to the campsite, but then you are right above the creek (perfect for cooling off in the water and lounging on the boulders in the middle of the day), and you only have one direct campsite neighbor. There was only 1 tent pad at the campsite, and it barely fit a 4 person tent with no space for other tents. If you needed more space, I'd recommend trying to reserve 97 & 98 together. Bathrooms and the water spigot were right across the road; dumpsters were a short walk down the road.

General

  • If your campsite remains vacant for 24 hours after your arrival date it will be cancelled and made available on rec.gov. You will be charged for the first night's campsite fee and a $20 cancellation fee, all other fees after that will be refunded. Recreation.gov policies apply to all reservations, cancellations, refunds and date changes.  Call (559) 565-4404 if you will be arriving 24 hours after your arrival date so your site won't be cancelled. To leave a message call (559) 565-3714.Upon making a campground reservation: Site occupants agree to follow ALL campground rules. Failure to comply may result in a fine. You are responsible for your guests. 
  • Quiet Hours 10pm to 6am- Music, talking, and generators should not be audible beyond your immediate campsite. Unreasonable noise is prohibited any time of day.
  • Tire Chains may be required at any time. Be prepared at any time of year for a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. Check Road Conditions at nps.gov/seki . Vehicles longer than 22 feet (including trailers) are not advised between Potwisha Campground and the Giant Forest Museum. Visitors with vehicles over 22 feet in total length hoping to visit the Giant Forest or camp at Lodgepole and Dorst Creek Campgrounds are advised to enter via the northern, Highway 180, entrance to these parks.
  • 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.
