    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.

    Independence Creek Campground

    Nice spot great views

    We stopped in really late set up camp and crashed with the kids and woke up to a beautiful sunrise to Mount Whitney. Little creek runs through the site with big trees surrounding. Nice spot!! Kid and pet friendly!

    Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park

    Possibly the only campground open in winter

    Rv camped in winter. Not all loops open but there weren’t a lot of people there so it was ok. Lots of long rv spaces. Nearby exploring is plentiful

    Remember pets on leashes on trails.

    Diaz Lake Campground

    Exposed but convenient for a quick stop

    Diaz Lake Campground is right off HWY 395, has a small lake, picnic table, bathroom, and parking. Pros: easy to access, more like and in and out area. Accept pets. Flat surface. Lake can be a nice spot to hang out and watch the surroundings. Cons: too exposed to the highway an cars. Can be crowded and noisy. Relatively more expensive compare to other campgrounds in the area but not too much. In summary, this is a great place to go and sleep and then continue with your trip.

    Alabama Hills Recreation Area

    Most amazing spot!

    Absolutely love this spot! Very cool rock formations all around you. Nice short trail nearby that takes you by a stream.

    Nearby to lone pine where I had one of the best patty melts ever. And internet is great if you need to work.

    Keep an eye out for the 4x4 roads as the other spots get filled up. Don’t go in summer with pets unless you have an AC

    Tuttle Creek Campground — Alabama Hills

    Wonderful

    My only complaint is other people are very rude. Untrained pets, music from other sites... the sites are far apart, but there is no vegitation to buffer the sounds of other people.

    Chimney Creek Campground

    Remote site along the PCT, with drive in, or hike in access

    Forest Fire 2 years ago did some damage resulting in the water spigot being intermittently operating, boiling or filter a must. Spacious, sparsely used, remote tent or car camping, some space for RV but NO hookups. 20 mile dirt road for access. Fire restrictions usually "extreme" so probably not a spot for a campfire. Rattlesnakes common, use caution with kids and pets.

    Minietta Road

    Great dispersed camping spot

    Great for a night or two, heading towards or leaving Death Valley between Joshua Tree..

    You are literally in the middle of nowhere. No cell phone reception, amenities, nothing, not even shelter, but yet so peaceful and quiet. We saw a couple of RVs but everyone has a TON of space....I would totally camp here again.

    I was able to let dog and cat out of camper and they weren't going anywhere....nothing to chase, etc.
