Lodgepole Campground-sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

Lodgepole is a great campground. Awesome location, and plenty of room in our site (152). I docked 2 stars because of the bathrooms. Absolutely disgusting. Toilets didn't flush well, toilet paper all over the floor, trash cans overflowing. I know you are camping, but it was beyond disgusting. I dreaded having to use the restroom at any time. They seemed like they were never cleaned once in the 4 days we were there. If the restrooms weren't an issue, I would've given 5 stars.

This campsite had plenty of space for x2 4 person cabin tents, with plenty of space for two more 2 person tents. Close to the amenities and restrooms. Did get sunny near the picnic table and bear locker area but ample of space to move around and get comfortable . Will def book this site again.

This site was good as it was by the river and pretty close to the market which had the showers. But no separation from site 54 and 53, just one giant lot. 55 also furthest walk from your designated parking than 52, 53, and 54. But being the furthest was nice too so you dont get bothered by other people accessing their cars. I still prefer 55 the most since it’s only directly next to site 54, not other sites. I have a walkthrough on tiktok of these sites if you want a better look: just look up “nxmarian lodgepole campground”

Amazing campground, location and experience! We saw deer, chipmunks, squirrels, a variety of birds, and plenty of signs of bears! The amphitheater was awesome and the ranger programs were incredibly helpful and fun. We loved the marketplace and the convenience of how close everything was that we wanted to do (General Sherman, Museum, hiking trails, meadows, etc.). One of the best camping trips we have had in a long time! Thank you!

The campground is clean and well-maintained, but nothing really special: sun exposed, close quarters with other campers, etc. That being said, it's a great jumping-off point for back country adventures, which is what we used it for. As a spot to get acclimated for a night or two before a big backpacking trip, I'd recommend it without hesitation.

As has been my experience almost everywhere, NPS staff were fantastic, whether they were offering trail condition reports, dispensing bear warnings, or cleaning bathrooms. Special thanks to the ranger who gave the evening presentation on plant evolution in the amphitheater: it was engaging, informative, and a great opportunity to meet our camp neighbors. It lifts my spirits to know that SEKI still does this kind of public programming.

Finally, kudos to SEKI planners for maintaining an adequate number of backpacker parking spaces. This is not the case everywhere, and it's definitely appreciated that we were able to head out on our trip without anxiety about where we'd had to leave the car.

Lodgepole campground is at the center of all the top attractions throughout Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Shuttles will take you to many popular locations like General Sherman and the Crescent Meadow so you can avoid parking during crowded hours. Don’t skip Hume lake and other great parts of Kings Canyon, though it is an hour drive it worth it! The highlight of this trip was the crystal caves, I was in pure amazement the entire time. Our tour guide was truly amazing and passionate about the caves which made it even better. Lastly, don’t miss the Huckleberry ice cream at the Lodgepole gift shop after a long hike!
