Lodgepole Campground is well maintained and conveniently located just 10 minutes from Giant Forest. We found it quiet, we loved the proximity to the Marble Fork stream, and two trailhead leave right from the campground. It doesn't hurt that the beautifully redesigned visitor center and small market are just steps away.

I very much enjoyed my campsite by the river. It was beautiful and very relaxing listening to the water. walkingon the big trees trail was absolutely amazing and the Rangers were very helpful.. I will definitely camp there again,( but it might be a little closer to the bathroom next time)😁

I love Lodgepole, especially the upper loop. We stayed in site 140 and was a bit disappointed that a huge pine had been cut down in the middle of the site. I don't know if they plan on leaving it there, but probably will. It kind of breaks the site in half from what we are used to. There also used to be a direct path to the tent pad, but there were logs laid down to accommodate an extra tent at site 141. Not sure if the occupants did that, but believe it was the campground. It was not a deal breaker, just awkward.

Beautiful campground, however there was few rangers on staff to ask questions about which supplies to lock up in bear lockers, and bathrooms and garbages were unkept.

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.
