Sequoia Resort & RV Park offers basic and deluxe cabin lodging in Badger, California, providing proximity to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Cabins feature electric hookups, sewer connections, picnic tables, and trash service. Some units include water hookups while others provide only essential furnishings. Grant Grove Cabins in Kings Canyon National Park provides rustic accommodation with firewood available, drinking water, and toilets nearby. "Cozy and quiet" is how one camper described the Sequoia Resort, noting the "manager on-site was very courteous and friendly."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Big Meadows Cabin in Dunlap features electricity but limited amenities. Several locations accept pets, including Lodgepole Campground, Grant Grove Cabins, and Three Rivers Hideaway. Reservations are recommended, particularly for summer stays when national park visitation peaks. One visitor noted that Grant Grove Cabins has "some cabins with electric and some without, but honestly, electric is not necessary while camping here so if you don't have it don't worry."
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, towels, and toiletries. The level of kitchen facilities varies significantly—Grant Grove Cabins provides access to a market for supplies, while Sequoia Resort includes trash service but no toilets on premises. According to one review, "This site has bikes to rent, a library with DVDs to borrow and a lake with little boats." Basic provisions can be purchased at camp stores within Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, though selection is limited during off-peak seasons.

Not bad
Easy to access, sites are a little close together, but the drive is scenic and there’s lots of good stuff to go do close by.

Five stars Monday through Thursday, three stars for the weekend
If you’re looking for a great camping experience, I highly recommend this campground—five stars from Monday through Thursday, but be cautious about the weekend, where it drops to three stars. I love small, rustic campgrounds, and this one strikes a perfect balance; it’s not too small and not too large. The camp manager does an outstanding job keeping the bathrooms clean and the campsites well-maintained. I arrived on Monday, the 26th, and stayed through Thursday, and it was an absolute dream—quiet and peaceful. Most campers were seasoned anglers, day hikers, or backpackers. This place is for those who cherish authentic camping during the week, seeking solitude and a chance to recharge. Isn’t that the essence of camping? However, my weekend experience in a different campsite was a major letdown. It was overrun with weekend warriors who disregarded camping etiquette—loud and rowdy. Many of them hiked to the lake, and at one point, I thought a UFO had landed in the campground, only to discover it was just city campers with string lights everywhere. A few tips: the photos online can be quite misleading, so choose wisely when booking. In my view, there are about ten really nice campsites, but some are much better than others. And unless you like a boisterous scene, I wouldn’t recommend camping on the weekends. I enjoy country music, but I prefer to keep it low-key after 10 PM. I would certainly come back again—but only on weekdays!

Lodgepole camp ground
Great area, has bathrooms & water, near by is a convenient store with a laundry mat & showers and the water is warm but it takes a few quarters the mini mart has all types of food and gifts can’t go wrong with the area, a lot of hikes and places to explore near by as well as a transit system to take you through the park

Our camp spot was great exactly as pictured, quiet and peaceful. Bathhouse and laundry room filthy and you had to pay to take a shower like a car wash. Just saying if you’re going to charge people to take a shower you could at least clean it. As much as they charge per night shouldn’t be charging anyways . But the spot was nice.

Secluded but Convenient
We had a great three night, four day trip. The site we stayed at was more secluded than most sites at the campground. It was great weather and also convenient to water play access.

Ok for one night
We stayed a week here, at first it was good, nice enough place. Our spot was a lot of sand. The bathrooms were full of cobwebs and spiders. The website looks promising, offering a pool, jacuzzi and restaurant. There is no restaurant, the pool doesnt get covered so its filthy, and the "jacuzzi" was filled with algae.
We came on a friday night, the quiet time is not enforced. The river was nice, however the entire length of it was taken up by boats. We hardly found a spot to swim in. We were located in site 10, at the very end in a cul de sac type lay out. Its a gated park so you need a code to enter. We locked our bikes up every single night and the one and only night we forgot, 2 out of our 4 bikes got stolen (mine and my partners, the kids were left) We asked for the surveillance as our site was in direct view of the camera and the office had told us their cameras all of a sudden stopped working around midnight but were working again that morning. Such a strange coincidence! They didnt seem apologetic. We had permanent residence come to talk to us and said they've never had theft issues, if you looked around most people had their personal belongings out every night. The place was very suspicious, I'd check out other options but also if staying a quick night it would be ok. Its right off the highway and really easy to get back on the road. We found a little lizard, and little frogs. However there is cockroaches running everywhere.
The people we met there, and the residents were so awesome, which is why it got 2 stars. The staff however, not so much.
Do not leave belongings unattended!!

Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park
Excellent Location for Sequoia Sights, Busy
Lodgepole, Site 199. Late June. Nice warm days, cold nights. The river and scenery make this campground special. There are lots of birds and rodents (Squirrels and chipmunks of varying sizes and colors).
If you can get a site near the river, or on the outside if a loop, the views and sounds are wonderful. Great location for Sherman Tree Trails, Moro Rock.
The loop restrooms are old and not well cared for. There are only two small restrooms at the visitors center. So Dirty and too few for too many people. (The situation at Grant Grove VC is much better for restrooms, but no showers or laundry.) I used both showers and laundry. My shower was cold and dirty despite having just been cleaned (I waited 50 minutes). (Lowest Bidder). Laundry was adequate and I was thankful to have it.

Guide to Badger
Camping cabins near Badger, California offer direct access to the Sierra Nevada Mountains at elevations ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 feet. The area experiences cool summer nights with temperatures often dropping into the 40s after sunset, even when daytime temperatures reach the 80s. Most cabin locations require advance planning as they operate seasonally, with many facilities closing during winter months.
What to do
Hike to nearby waterfalls: The Tokopah Falls trail accessible from Lodgepole Campground offers a moderate 4-mile round trip hike along the Marble Fork Kaweah River. "It's a stunning area of the park with the Topokah falls trail right inside the campground," notes one visitor.
Fish in local streams: Spring and early summer provide good trout fishing opportunities in the streams near Big Meadow Campground. According to one camper, "The nearby streams are good for trout fishing in the spring and early summer." Brook trout are particularly abundant.
Stargaze in open areas: The distance from major cities creates exceptional night sky viewing. "A nice campsite by the meadows with some rocky open spaces to lie and look at the stars," reports one visitor at Big Meadow Campground.
What campers like
River access: Many sites feature direct water access for swimming and cooling off. At Sentinel Campground, "You can hear the river all day long. The site we got was really big," shares one camper. Several locations offer natural swimming holes.
Cool mountain temperatures: The elevation provides relief from valley heat. "The elevation also means it's 10-15 degrees cooler than other campgrounds," explains a visitor at Lodgepole Campground.
Well-maintained facilities: Despite remote locations, many campsites maintain clean facilities. "Restrooms are clean, the only down thing you can't have fire during the high risk seasons for wild fires," mentions a Sentinel Campground visitor.
What you should know
Bear precautions required: All food must be properly stored in provided bear boxes. "Bear precautions are a BIG deal in the area," warns a camper at Sentinel Campground. This includes all scented items.
Limited cell service: Connectivity is minimal throughout the region. At Western Big Meadow Road Camping Area, one camper notes, "This pin location gets Verizon signal along with some of the higher sites if you pull off the road," but service is generally sparse elsewhere.
Seasonal availability: Many facilities close during winter months. "You might want to double check with the Visitor Center if this road is open when it's snowing," advises a camper regarding access to Western Big Meadow Road.
Mosquito protection: Insects can be problematic in early summer. One visitor to Big Meadow Cabin reported, "Mosquitos swarm the camp in the mid mornings and dusk," particularly near water sources.
Tips for camping with families
River play opportunities: Children enjoy natural water features throughout the area. At Three Rivers Hideaway, "Best part of the stay is the spot they have on the river my dog can swim in every day," mentions a camper.
Ranger programs: Educational activities are available at select locations. "Lodgepole Campground is close to the ranger station, where the National Park service rangers host many programs," notes one visitor.
On-site amenities: Some locations offer unexpected family-friendly features. Three Rivers Hideaway has "rafting tours" available directly from the campground, according to multiple visitors.
Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Many RV sites have specific limitations. At Sequoia RV Ranch, a camper advises, "We had site 6 for the first night (water and electric only) and site 54 (a river site with full hookups) for the second night," noting electrical issues in certain sites.
Dump station access: Not all locations with RV sites provide dump facilities. At Sequoia RV Ranch, "The dump station is very nice and free to use," according to one reviewer.
Electrical reliability: Power fluctuations occur at some campgrounds. One RVer reported, "We had issues with low voltage from the electric post on site 6 which caused our RV's electrical system to cycle on and off every minute or two," a problem affecting sites 1-10 at Sequoia RV Ranch.
