What Guests Are Saying
Lodgepole Campground is highly praised for its beautiful natural surroundings, convenient amenities like the market and cafe, and excellent hiking access, making it a favorite among visitors. Campers enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, respectful fellow campers, and opportunities for stargazing and wildlife sightings, including bears. While some noted the close proximity of campsites and occasional cleanliness issues in the bathrooms, the overall experience is considered memorable and worth recommending.

This campsite is kind of almost shared. The guy next to our campsite slept early at 8:30 and we were still awake till 10 with campfire. Although we were not making any noise, not playing any music, he was getting annoyed and shouting cuss words at us. Experience was bad only because of him. Bathroom was not maintained well

I loved site 112! It was at the base of the mountain so i had minimal neighbors. One camp above and one to the side/above. I still felt pretty private. Tent pad and site are up a little hill that drops off so be careful if you have little kids. Dumpsters right across the road and the bathroom was up the hill a little way. The site is FULL SUN until like 4/5pm so be aware you will be roasting and i recommend a shade cover. We came back to change mid morning and i thought i was going to boil in the tent. I had an 8 person tent and it fit the entire pad. The picnic table was huge as well. Nice ground space as well for kids to play and boulders to climb on. Lots of nighttime car lights and flashlights beaming into the tent so bring a mask.

Campground is great if you have small kids. Lots of nearby easy hikes and a visitor center that has all your meeds if you forgot something at home. Theres a river that runs through the campground that is nice to take a dip in when its really hot.

The campsites are roomy and not too close together like some other campgrounds. We were right by the river. Overall the campground was quiet and peaceful except for a few dogs who barked a lot in the morning.

Sequoia National Park is beautiful and Lodgepole Campground is a great spot to stay. The nearby visitor center and market have everything you might need. Also the shuttle buses are very handy. Finally, I want to say that we enjoyed attending the ranger talks each night at Lodgepole.

We had the most wonderful experience at Lodgepole Camp! This site has everything you need at each campsite, including a fire pit and bear box for your food. However you might not even need to bring that much food because there is a whole entire marketplace with snack, frozen food, even produce, and a cafeteria! There are very accessible bathrooms and showers for purchase in the main building area. Not to mention the incredible beauty of this campground! It is so immersed with the trees and there is even a creek flowing gently through the grounds that leads up to the Tokopah Falls. Any amount of time you can spend here, it will be amazing!

It was our first time camping at Lodgepole in Sequoia so we were not sure what to expect. We ended up at location 63. It was a great spot-close to the restrooms and just across the road was the river and close to the trails. There were plenty of places to get clean water nearby and trashcans were readily accessible as well. The camp sites were just a bit closer to each other than we had anticipated- we were able to hear our neighbors talking and snoring throughout the night. However, on the drive up to Lodgepole we were able to stop along the way at the Tunnel Log, Giant Forest, Moro Rock and Gen. Sherman Tree. Overall Lodgepole was a great site for us as a multi-generation family with kids.

Great location to catch the shuttle or start hiking right at the trailhead. Showers and supplies available at the market. Sites are very close together, no privacy, only room for 1 -2 small tents.

Clean and quiet campground populated with mostly families with little kids. The bathrooms were not great, but worked just fine. The market, grill, and showers (3 minutes of hot water for $1) are all very nice.

- 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.
