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.

We enjoyed being able to camp within the park, it made seeing the sights a lot easier and quicker. There were Ranger talks at the amphitheater that both the adults and kids enjoyed. Access to bathrooms was decent, but availability of utility sinks was more sparse than I would have liked. This made disposing of gray water waste less convenient. Overall the campsites were well looked after and the bear boxes were big enough to hold everything we needed to store.

Stayed at Lodgepole Campground and wow these trees are basically skyscrapers with bark! The sites are clean and spacious, and I didn’t even have to fight a bear for my spot (just kidding… mostly). Waking up surrounded by giant trees made me feel like a tiny hobbit e Trails are amazing, the staff is friendly, and the nature views? Absolutely unreal. If you want fresh air, epic scenery, and a little perspective on how small we humans are, Lodgepole is your place.

Parking is shared right next to someone but the campsite is a little walk to an elevated part of the mountain. If you crouch down at the campsite you won’t be able to see anyone. Very private compared to the other locations.
Bathroom is a 4 min walk, bring a light source.
Market/giftshop/laundry/showers (all together) is a 10 min walk
Shuttle is a 10 min walk. Goes to all trails and touristy spot.
Definitely recommend.

The trees were amazing, the camp sites were nice and well spaced for how many there were.
I really appreciated the Ranger programs, including the classical music and the Junior Ranger program for my son.

Be mindful of which campsite you book. Some are listed as "no generator" once you arrive though this is not current on the map online. This along with the host not being present resulted in us having to leave the Lodgepole area to utilize our generator prior to camping for the night. On the positive, the Visitor Center was very nice and the facilities are nice but are very well used if not overused.

Quite close to the main places of interest, the shuttle bus is very useful for avoiding car congestion.

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.

  • 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.
