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.

A decent spot that is between both shuttle stops. It is next to the road, check in area, and dumpster. The spot is in direct sunlight, but the paved spot is shaded a bit by the tree. Is a prime area if you have Verizon. We camped with our pop up tent and had no issues.

The good: Great location & friendly staff. The bad: most the sites are extremely close together and the bathrooms are not as clean or nice as most campgrounds in a national park

Site 128 is arguably the best site in Lodgepole and maybe the entire park. Right next to the river and some nice swimming spots, even when the river is very low like it is at the end of the season.
Highly recommend this site AND lodgepole in general, the amenities, the store, cafe, shower, laundry, and rest rooms make for easy car camping if you want that.
Make sure to get anything that has a scent out of your car - we missed a container and a cub got into our car ripped that container to pieces and wreaked some havoc... luckily the cub didn't get hurt.

Great location next to the creek. More shade trees would be nice.

> "The tent pad is small and can only fit one tent. It was hot in the afternoon with no shade. However, it was great to camp among many trees, and the stream right in front was wonderful. Walking just 5 minutes at night to the large parking lot for stargazing was amazing."

Always have an amazing time at Lodgepole! Definitely recommend the Tokopah Falls hike right from the campground. Went early morning and saw a doe on the way out, fish in the river, and a bear on the way back. Breathtakingly beautiful and a fun, easy hike. Love the campground amenities, including the showers (bring quarters), a market with anything you could need, the grill, and the ice cream shop. Also recommend getting tickets in advance to tour Crystal Cave; it's a not-to-miss highlight of exploring the park. I stayed in site 152 with an oversized tent. I recommend bringing an easy up for shade, especially over the bear box during summer, to help keep ice longer in the coolers inside. Was having to replace the ice in my Yeti daily. Definitely will visit again in the near future! Sequoia is my favorite in-state National Park!

Showers way to far away and not enough
Camp sites way too close together without car access to some sites and you have to haul your supplies.
Crowded
Doesn’t feel like a camping experience

Really nice camp site. 200 plus sites. But everyone was super respectful. Gorgeous setting, stream, hiking and great views. Lots of bears! Bring your pots and pans to scare them off!

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.
