Potwisha Campground

Right in the foothills of Sequoia. Easy access if coming from the South or West. The campsites vary in size and beauty. Some mosquito action until we sprayed and started a fire.
Lovely morning walk to the raging river at the edge of the campground.

We never stayed there due to road conditions. We took U.S. 180 to the park thinking we could drive down to the campsite but found out during the ride that 198 was a strongly advised against taking our RV down to the campground. We decided not to fight anymore narrow, curvy, mountain roads that day and opted for the KOA in Visalia instead.
My advice is to put that warning on the reservation campsite webpage where everyone can see it plain as day so other people don't make the same mistake we did.

Okay campground like most state and national park camp grounds. We visted in early May and had to deal with a lot of muscitos so bring your Deet if you want sit outside. Still quite a ride to the giant forest over the windy road. Central camp grounds were still closed. Some easy going deer walking in the campground. Waste dump was mentioned as facility but no use sign was put up.

Campsite number 37 was nice, it had several shaded trees and you were able to hang at least two different hammocks. It has close access to the bathrooms one campsite over. There is a relative amount of privacy from campsite 37 to the surrounding campsites. It is one of the few campsites that has a separate area that you can pull over versus a parking spot. It is one of the best campsites within the inner part of Camp sites available. It is important to note that when we went, we had no cell phone service. Most likely will have no cell phone service in most of the park not just at this campsite.

Camp ground grown up with lots of snakes. Only 1trashcan for whole camp ground. Camp host gone 95% of the time. No sign present for turn in to camp ground. Reported and never fixed. No one at gate to check people in. Was a horrible experience and will not recommend to anyone

The sites are very uneven and short. I have a 26 ft rv and could barely get it in the site. If you have anything larger then a Prius's the trees will scrape the paint off of your vehicle. The grass needs to be cut because the mosquitoes will pack you off a half an hour before dark. And the bathrooms are not very clean.

Good site for 1 tent. Level parking pad for 18' vehicle while most other sites are unlevel. We saw many RV's having trouble finding a level site. Some bugs due to stagnate water in a drainage ditch above site.

Wish the bear box was not in direct sunshine

We loved it here

It's a very nice simple campground. Clean sites and bathrooms with good clean water. Only one small negative would be the size of some sites and how close they are to each other.
