I was pleasantly surprised by this campground, which felt quite private despite the number of campsites around it. It backs up onto a lovely bit of woods and I spent many pleasant hours watching the chipmunks, ground squirrels, birds, and marmots. The tent pad was a good size for my four person tent. This site is easily walkable to Lodgepole Market, Grill, and visitors' center and close to a bathroom without being too close.

There's a water faucet right next to the campsite, which is super convenient. While I was camping no one else used it, but I imagine when the park is very busy you'd get people coming through for water. There's also a small uphill walk from the parking spot to the campsite, which I didn't see mentioned anywhere. It's pretty short, but important to know in case any of your campers have mobility issues.

I did not have any cell service at the campground, but there's free WiFi a short drive away at Wuksachi Lodge.

Such a beautiful campground. There was a fire pit and picnic table on each site which makes it totally comfortable. Beautiful area and view.

Great campsite! It’s right next to the bathroom and you have a beautiful view of the area since it’s at the top of the loop/hill. Even though they recommend trying to burn whatever brush you find on the ground, I would still recommend getting some logs from the campground store since all we found around the campsite was kindling. The fire pits don’t have a grill, so make sure to bring whatever set up you use to cook over a fire. The bear lockers are big and we were able to fit a 50 can soft sided cooler, 2 standard size carry ons, 1 standard size checked bag, 2 grocery bags of food, trash, 2 small day bags, and there was still more room left if we had more stuff we needed to secure. We went in mid September and it didn’t seem very crowded so the park was much more enjoyable than some of the more popular ones.

Lodgepole was quiet and pretty. We loved the convenience of the market nearby for hot breakfasts and showers! The location was good as well. I would definitely stay here again!

Wasps seems to be a annoying problem at the Lodgepole campground. Any time when trying to have a meal at the campsite, swarm of wasps were all over.

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.
