Great campground, great staff, and mostly great facilities. (As usual though, bathrooms could do with a little more upkeep).

One of my favorite campgrounds we've ever stayed at. Bathrooms were clean, sites were often shaded, and there was plenty of privacy. The proximity of the river and some fantastic hiking trails was perfect. It was also convenient to have a marketplace and various food options nearby. What an incredibly beautiful area and a fantastic place to pitch a tent!

Awesome campground. Very large food containers to keep out the bears. We had great neighbors and the tent area was perfectly level.

Campground was nice. However, the campground bathroom floors were disgusting the entire 4 days we were there.
Water coming from water spigots was brown and non-drinkable.

The campground is beautiful and well kept with a great crew of rangers and a separate bear abatement team. We stayed in upper loop (tent only) and were able to use our car's roof top tent with little hassle. If you plan on sleeping in a RTT, be warned that some of the sites are less than ideal - bring some levelers! And don't forget, there is an thriving black bear population in the area around the campground - we actually saw a bear - so follow the rules for food and scented items at all times.

Love Lodgepole! You can hang out at the campground and still do so much! A beautiful river, a great market, cafe, showers and free shuttle! Many trails right from the campground.

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.
