GuideThis 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.
GuideMy 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.
ScoutNice 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
GuideWe stayed at Sequoia RV Ranch this past weekend with high expectations, based on the stellar reviews. The campground is fine, but not five stars. As others have noted, this campground is close to the entrance of Sequoia NP and close to the town of Three Rivers which has a few restaurants and markets. 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. The campground is small but clean and the staff is helpful. There is a fenced dog park on-site, a nice touch. There are clean bathhouses available and a laundry too. The showers are coin-operated. Another plus for this campground is the natural spring-fed swimming hole in the North Fork of the Kaweah River, just a short walk from the campground. The rest of the river along the backside of the campground was dried up, due to drought conditions. The signage within the campground needs to be improved so download a map of the campground before you arrive, especially if you are arriving after dark. 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. The onsite techs diagnosed an issue with the city-supplied power and mentioned sites 1 through 10 had issues with power, mostly on the weekends. The camp staff moved us to site 54 which solved our power issue. The campground was full, but everyone observed the no noise after 10 PM rule. All in all a nice campground conveniently located near Sequoia NP.
GuideGreat, clean place only 6 miles from Sequoia National Park entrance. This place has sites where you can back up to the river, is clean, has nice dog park area, nice fire pits & courteous staff.
GuideFHU with large pull through spots. Quiet place that was nice to spend a few days at while exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Place has grass, dog park, lots of kids play areas, adults game areas, fishing pond, creek and river next to property is very pretty. We really enjoyed it.
TravelerBeautiful 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!
ScoutMy family and I stayed at Lemon Cove Village over the weekend and had the most amazing time! The camp ground was clean and well kept. They had a really nice dog park. Management was super helpful. We can't wait to go back again soon!
RangerThis 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.

Sequoia hiking trails: 8 miles from entrance at Lodgepole Campground offers cooler temperatures and easy trail access. "Easy access to hiking trails like Tokopah Falls, and nearby amenities like a market, it's a hassle-free way to enjoy the outdoors," says Sportzfy H., highlighting the convenience of this location for day hikers.
Riverside relaxation: Direct access to cool water during hot days makes river locations desirable. At Horse Creek Campground, "The stargazing is beautiful. There is some limited light pollution emanating from the other side of the foothills, but because you are surrounded by foothills you get some good, dark surroundings to really appreciate the stars," explains Brittney J.
Natural spring swimming: Short walk from Sequoia RV Ranch leads to a refreshing natural pool. "There was a really nice swimming hole that we did not test out in March," mentions Jennifer O., indicating this feature is seasonal but highly valued during summer months.
Quiet winter camping: December visits offer peaceful stays with fewer crowds. "Visited right before Christmas and so we were treated to chilly temperatures and a relatively empty park.

Sloped tent sites: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain requiring preparation. "Nearly every campsite has a major hill, so most will not have a good flat area for a tent," warns Brittney J., suggesting campers bring leveling equipment or carefully select sites before setting up.
