Lodgepole Campground-Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

Our camping site 069 was great - it’s a bit more work since it’s a hike-in site (a short walk up a makeshift path to your camp site from the parking spot) but we liked that it was up above the street level and further from the neighboring camp sites compared to those below. It’s also very close to the river for easy access, and walkable to the visitor center for supplies and food. The bathrooms... Our camping site 069 was great - it’s a bit more work since it’s a hike-in site (a short walk up a makeshift path to your camp site from the parking spot) but we liked that it was up above the street level and further from the neighboring camp sites compared to those below. It’s also very close to the river for easy access, and walkable to the visitor center for supplies and food. The bathrooms were close by but lacking - no lights so you need to bring your headlamp at night, one window must have broken so it’s boarded up, and the automatic sinks are a bit difficult to use. They also needed to be cleaned more often, however the flushing toilets are better than vault toilets at other campgrounds. On our last night there, there was a lot of screaming drama in the site next to us from 2-5am. I take it that it was the rangers who came - close to half a dozen of them by the time things were settled - and they did work hard to figure out the scenario and thankfully keep everyone safe.

We stayed at this campground and had a great experience overall. The sites are spacious, and we were lucky to get one of the best spot site 135. I also noticed that sites 134 and 136 are excellent choices as well. Each site comes with a food locker, which is very helpful for keeping supplies safe from bears.

The sites are spacious, and we were lucky to get one of the best spot site 135. I also noticed that sites 134 and 136 are excellent choices as well. Each site comes with a food locker, which is very helpful for keeping supplies safe from bears. The bathrooms were just okay and could definitely be improved; with better facilities, this place would easily earn a full 5 stars. As it stands, I’d rate it 4/5. The campground is only a few miles’ drive from the General Sherman Trail, making it a convenient base for exploring the park.

We had a fantastic time at this campground, which is very centrally and conveniently located. There is even a nearby market with gifts, food, and coin operated showers. Note some sites are not right next to each other, so we had two sites that were a short walk apart. The other great thing about this campground is the river that runs right behind it!

The other great thing about this campground is the river that runs right behind it! Plenty of water spigots; bathrooms were in ok shape and have flush toilets.

This was an excellent campground. It is close to the giant forest, so you won’t need to go far from the campground to see the big sequoias, including the General Sherman. The campground was mostly peaceful and was nicely treed. The river at the campground was a nice place to hang out as well. Additionally, there was a store that sold many essential items and souvenirs. Overall, it was a 10/10 expe... This was an excellent campground.

Lodgepole Campground is beautifully located right in the middle of Sequoia National Park. The nature and atmosphere are fantastic, and it’s a large campground with lots of tents, not just RVs. General Sherman is only a few minutes away by bus, which makes it very convenient.
