    Eshom Campground accommodates pets throughout its remote wooded setting in Sequoia National Forest. Located near Hartland, the secluded campground provides standard vault toilets and running water but no showers, making it suitable for pet owners seeking a rustic experience. Sites are spacious, with number 13 being particularly large and private with a stream in the backyard. Leashed dogs are welcome in all designated camping areas, including tent sites and limited RV spaces (recommended for vehicles under 18 feet due to narrow access roads). The campground serves as a base for exploring Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, though pet owners should note most national park trails restrict dogs.

    Forest Road 14S29 offers free dispersed camping with pets allowed in a small clearing suitable for a maximum of four small RVs. The site provides a more primitive alternative with no facilities but allows campers to avoid pet fees while still accessing the surrounding forest areas. Nearby Ten Mile Road dispersed camping area also welcomes pets without restrictions, though the uneven terrain requires leveling equipment for comfortable camping. Pet owners should be prepared for wildlife encounters including bears that visit nightly, making proper food storage essential. Dogs must remain leashed in all camping areas and pack-out waste is required since most dispersed sites lack waste disposal facilities. Area campgrounds remain generally closed during winter months due to ice and snow conditions, with best accessibility during summer and early fall.

      Sequoia RV Park

      Not well kept. Lots of junky trailers with trash & junk. Very cluttered.

      This would be a great place if it was clean. Lots of junky trailers with junk & garbage. No dog park area, no doggie bags. On positive side, staff is friendly & sites are roomy.

      Sequoia RV Ranch

      Just okay

      My husband and I spent two nights there while traveling to the national parks. It was a bit dirty and packed in. We travel with two dogs, so a dog park is important to us. Their dog park needs a lot of work, it wasn't very clean or well kept.

      Lemon Cove Village

      Great place to stay if visiting Sequoia National Park

      Nice drive thru RV’s sites. Friendly Staff and good staff especially Jennifer. Very nice dog park, not a lot grass but good running area for dogs.

      Location less than 30minutes from the National Forest entrance. We got up early on the road @645 am to the park was back by 11am. Only went as far General Sherman.

      Only negative point was pool was closed for cleaning. Just bad timing

      Beautiful & Quiet

      Beautiful and well kept campground. Also loved the fact that loud music is not allowed. The sites by the river are amazing. There is also a really nice, large, and clean dog park! Will stay here again!

      Pine Flat Campground

      Lakeside Camping

      This campground is situated by a lake. Love this spot! You’ll hear all the frogs by night and birds in the morning, great place for fly fishing or cat fishing and nice folks staying here! We had a bit of fun filling the truck up to make a portable pool, it’s quite warm in the summer months but perfect if you’re visiting the Clovis Rodeo!!! A local town isn’t far away. Great place for the family and pet friendly! It is pitch black at night, so bring flashlights. Restrooms are available, some sites have water, and trash dump is available. There’s no place on premise to purchase wood but park rangers operate entry at a booth during business hours for more information during your stay, if needed.

      Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park

      Hug a giant tree!

      If you’re looking to camp in California, Sequoia National Park should be one of your top destinations. They have cabin and tent camping. I have stayed in both. There are trails galore and GIGANTIC trees bigger than your car. This beautiful setting is worth visiting year round and I recommend camping during the less touristy times in early Spring and Fall. You are near lakes, waterfalls, and an array of bodies of water. I recommend coming up the back end up the park for an easier ascent rather than via the 198. The 198 takes you up a steep, but beautiful, hair pin turn ridden road. If you get car sick easily, take the route through Fresno.


    Guide to Hartland

    Eshom Campground permits dogs at all campsites with standard leashing rules. Located about 45 minutes from the main Sequoia National Park entrance via winding mountain roads, this remote forest service campground provides a peaceful alternative for pet owners seeking less crowded accommodations. Sites near the stream offer extra space for dogs to cool off during summer months, with campsite 13 being particularly spacious and private with creek access. The peaceful setting includes open meadows where pets can explore while remaining leashed. Vault toilets and running water are available but no showers or electric hookups.

    Forest Road 14S29 dispersed camping area allows pets with typical national forest regulations requiring leashing and proper waste disposal. This small free camping area accommodates a maximum of 4 vehicles and is suitable for tent camping with dogs or small RVs. The uneven terrain requires leveling equipment for most spots. Several reviews note the site occasionally closes during winter months due to ice conditions, so checking ahead is advisable when traveling with pets. While cell service is limited to non-existent, the quiet location provides good access to nearby trails where dogs are welcome on leash. Unlike national park campgrounds, dispersed sites have fewer restrictions on pets but require self-sufficiency as there are no facilities, water sources, or waste disposal.
