Cabin camping near Hartland ranges from rustic wilderness shelters to deluxe units with full bathrooms, offering options for nearly every comfort level. Lodgepole Campground within Sequoia National Park features rustic cabins with basic furnishings, while Grant Grove Cabins provide a range of accommodation levels from primitive to electrical service. Most cabins come equipped with clean beds, small tables, and outdoor fire pits or stoves for cooking and heat. "We were able to stay in the cabins for a night and they were small but clean. Some cabins have electric and some do not, but honestly, electric is not necessary while camping here so if you can't don't have it don't worry," noted one camper. Several cabin options include attached porches or covered patios, offering protected outdoor space for meals and relaxation. Sequoia RV Ranch and Three Rivers Hideaway both provide cabin rentals with proximity to river access.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most properties require advanced reservations, particularly during summer months from May through September when cabins fill quickly. Pet policies vary by location—Sequoia Resort & RV Park prohibits pets in cabins, while Grant Grove Cabins and Lodgepole permit them with restrictions. A camper mentioned, "The area is very close to some awesome sequoia groves and was very quiet which was great." Winter accessibility depends on snow conditions, with some higher-elevation cabins closing seasonally. Big Meadows Cabin operates with limited electric service but offers a true wilderness experience.
Most furnished cabins include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with grates to basic indoor kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. On-site markets at Lodgepole and Grant Grove provide groceries, firewood, and camping essentials, though selection is limited and prices higher than in town. Cabins at Sequoia Resort feature more comprehensive amenities including full bathrooms with showers. One camper described the experience as "cozy and quiet" with friendly on-site management. Some locations offer token-operated showers in separate facilities, while others have no running water, requiring guests to plan accordingly.

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 Campground — Sequoia National Park
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

Visiting sequoia
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 Hartland
Cabin options in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks area range from rustic accommodations without electricity to more modern units with full amenities. Elevations vary from around 2,000 feet in Three Rivers to over 6,500 feet at Grant Grove, affecting temperatures significantly through the seasons. Winter cabin stays require chains for vehicles during snow conditions, while summer reservations should be made 6-12 months in advance.
What to do
Riverside relaxation: At Three Rivers Hideaway, visitors can enjoy swimming holes along the Kaweah River. "You are next to the Kaweah river. The campsite has clean bathrooms, showers, laundry and even rafting," notes Luis A. The property offers organized rafting tours during warmer months.
Hiking from your doorstep: Stay at Lodgepole Campground for direct trail access. "It's a stunning area of the park with the Topokah falls trail right inside the campground," explains Andre V. The trail follows the Marble Fork Kaweah River to a 1,200-foot waterfall, offering a moderate 3.4-mile round trip.
Winter cabin experience: Big Meadows Cabin provides limited electric service in a remote setting. "Temperature was high 80's in the day and low 40's in the evening," reports Kuo G. The nearby fire tower accessible via jeep trail offers panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
What campers like
River sounds for sleeping: At Sentinel Campground, cabins and camping spots near water are highly desired. "There was a small stream at the back of the site that occupied kids making fairy houses for hours. Beyond that was the river, which gave a peaceful backdrop for sleep," mentions Emily B.
Convenience to attractions: Sequoia RV Ranch cabins sit approximately 8 miles from the Sequoia National Park entrance. "This place was great. It was quiet, off the beaten path, camp sites were spaced out enough that you weren't right on top of your neighbors," notes Bryan W., highlighting the balance between seclusion and accessibility.
Year-round availability: Unlike higher-elevation locations that close seasonally, many cabins in Three Rivers remain open throughout winter. "We stayed in van in tent space 52. Bathrooms had showers with hot water, clean. Had laundry but we didn't use," reports Mark M. about Three Rivers Hideaway's year-round accessibility.
What you should know
Electricity variations: Cabin electrical service differs significantly between locations. "Site 6 had issues with low voltage from the electric post which caused our RV's electrical system to cycle on and off every minute or two," noted RichMichelle M. at Sequoia RV Ranch, where staff resolved the issue by relocating them.
Wildlife considerations: Bear precautions are mandatory at all cabin locations. "Bear lockers to protect ur food. A near by creek and dry creek beds, home to mosquito hatchlings," warns Kuo G. about Big Meadows. Bear-resistant containers are provided at national park cabins.
Reservation requirements: Grant Grove Cabins and other popular locations book quickly. "Beautiful Campsite by a stream and waterfall, Difficult to get reservatons," shares Katheryn G. Weekends during summer months typically require booking 6-12 months in advance.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming opportunities: Natural water features provide family recreation. "So nice to be able to jump in the river after a long day of camping! Also there is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of a river," advises Erik S. at Lodgepole Campground, where the Marble Fork provides safe swimming spots during summer.
Educational programs: Canyon View Group Sites offer proximity to ranger-led activities. "Wonderful place to camp for first-timers or families with babies. Full amenities, general store, showers, washing machine's and Ranger station with activities for kids throughout the week," mentions Erin M.
Multi-generational accessibility: Several cabins accommodate varied mobility levels. "The sites are close together and some are directly across from a very busy market," shares Alma L., noting that convenient amenities reduce hiking distances for younger or older family members at Lodgepole.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At Three Rivers Hideaway, experienced RVers recommend specific locations. "Great, clean place only 6 miles from Sequoia National Park entrance. This place has sites where you can back up to the river," advises Debbie M., highlighting riverside sites as premium options.
Elevation considerations: Lower elevation cabins near Three Rivers offer milder winter temperatures than higher locations. "The elevation also means it's 10-15 degrees cooler than other campgrounds. Generator hours are thankfully enforced," notes Alma L. about Lodgepole Campground's climate advantages.
Water and utility planning: Many cabin locations have limited water access points. "Water spigots are only available near the bathrooms. The showers are only at the main visitors center along with the market and laundry. It's a 10 min walk or short drive," explains Alma L., emphasizing the importance of bringing water containers.
