Bathrooms very dirthy. Park rangers should drive around camp sites more often right around quiet times so they can give warning to campers who use their generators way past the quiet time or that have their music very loud. Pay phones by the store take the money without connecting you.

Coming as a solo hiker from Sweden I felt very welcome and taken care of. Great info from the Park Rangers.

Rest rooms were dirty the 3 days we were there. Also generator noise was so loud one evening we had to leave camp. The park needs more generator free camping zones.

Excellent location. Close to major site seeing locations. Full cell service (Verizon). Showers and great general store that includes souvenirs, ice, essentials, and ice cream/deli. Highly recommend.

I especially like the campsites south of the river which extend along its banks and give more campers direct access.

The campsite was clean, and there was a faucet right there. They built a nice and flat platform area to for sleeping. There was a store, an eatery, and a shower facility next to the campground. We like the fact that we could take shuttles from there to all the popular sites around that area.

This campsite is a gem! We had a spot along the river during summer and it was absolutely wonderful to do a drip and also fall asleep to the sounds of a calm river. I highly recommend The Lakes hike for those that have a full day. It's a must to jump in each lake and was the most wonderful thing I did all summer.

You do have to walk a bit from the parking spot to the campground so be ready for that. The site is nice and the stream that runs next to the site is a huge bonus!

The campground is situated in a beautiful area, and that is its only merit. Small sites, hard to occupy, dirty. Dirty bathrooms. Dirty showers. Unkempt. Toilets hardly flush. Needs paint and upkeep. Toilet paper all over the floor. Showers have human hair in them that are not removed for days. Insufficient number of showers. The "drinking" water tastes horrible.

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.
