    An Oasis on the 395

    This park is in the middle of nowhere but a fabulous view of the Sierra Nevada's. I had a problem when I pulled into my site getting shore power from the electrical hook up. But I went to the office and I was moved immediately to a better site with a good hook up! Quiet, clean and well landscaped for the desert surroundings

    Great spot to be off

    Great campground as base for hikes or just to chill and enjoy the river. We had no cell reception - good to be really off for a little while. Only the restrooms where a little disgusting - experienced that differently in other NPs.

    Pretty

    The campground is beautiful. The sites are a bit close together and many have little privacy, but it was very quiet and enjoyable. The vault toilets needed to be emptied and they were very stinky. It seemed a little early in the season (early June) for them to be so full. Nice hiking trails accessible from the campground. Saw fresh bear scat near our site, but never saw any bears.

    Right in the Heart of Sequoia NP

    It’s a stunning area of the park with the Topokah falls trail right inside the campground. The market makes for great convenience and souvenirs. Some of the sites are a bit close together and it does get very crowded. But the location and close proximity to lots of attractions nearby make it worth it. Showers were out of order on my visit.

    Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park

    Great location

    The sites are close together and some are directly across from a very busy market. The ranger said that unlike Yosemite, Sequoia is packed with daytrippers. That proved correct! The marble creek river is gorgeous and people come, park and spend the day cooling off. Spot 198 is the best for RV’s in my opinion, but it only accommodates up to 22ft. If you can fit, it’s amazing. It’s the closest spot to the river and there is no one around you. 5 mins to the big trees. Some notes. 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. The dump station is very nice and free to use. The elevation also means it’s 10-15 degrees cooler than other campgrounds. Generator hours are thankfully enforced

    Solid place but no bear locker

    Relatively small campground. Camp host was nonexistent. Lots of trees in most campsites. The non yurt sites didn’t have bear lockers. Fire ring was in rough shape. Loud neighbors first night. Second had techno from group site until late. Ponderosa general store was going to be my go to for firewood but it had burned down. So foraged for wood and picked up some at the campground at trail of 100 giants. Vault toilets were clean and stocked. Water spigot scattered around campground. No cell service on Verizon or wifi. Would come back here.

    Campground time forgot

    Most reviews here are dated. Campground has been abandoned for years so: no fees, busted up roads, no water, no trash, no bathrooms, no cell/wifi. Basically dispersed camping in an awesome location on concrete spurs/pads.  Each site still had picnic table and fire pit.  The mosquitos here are biblical at night so bring your nets and deet.  Kern creek and trails right from campground. General store and Grumpy Bear tavern close down the road.  Only 2 other campers here when I stayed in October. Great place as long as you are expecting disbursed camping experience.

    Clean upscale camp

    Camp James is a clean, spacious park. All sites are well kept, with access to clean bathrooms and coin operated showers. Staff is friendly and available when needed. Prices are a tad high but expected with a clean upscale Campground. Didn't expect a 3 night minimum charge the weekend after Labor Day but couldn't find a Campground with availability in a short time so we rolled with the 3 day requirement . A friendly family of bears made their presence at night as the trash cans were ransacked in the morning and my boyfriend came face to face with a skunk while walking our dog at night. Overall it's a beautiful park right on the Kern River and we would stay again if we could get one of the few riverfront spaces.

    It was a very peaceful and calm campground on the I stayed in one of the yurts. It was very clean and there is a bunkbed with two full size beds and another separate full size bed. The bathrooms were also kept very clean. I didn’t get a chance to go hiking in the area, but there are trails nearby. There is no service but it is about a 5 minute drive from a cafe/store/lodge that has Wi-Fi. I was in site 28. Sites 6-10 looked amazing for tent camping.

    They say it doesn't usually blow this hard.....but the muffins were good.

    This was stop to be able to visit Manzanar Internment camp.

    Tent sites are gravel and mostly level. They all have water, a table and fire ring. Trees are still young. Very close to Owens lake(within view).

    We had a lot of wind that came blowing up the valley from the south. There is very little protection for the tent campsites. Almost killed the tent.

    Hosts were very helpful in getting us situated despite the need to switch sites(too many people).

    Free muffins and coffee in the morning! Nice pool and hot tub, as well as bathrooms and laundry facilities.

    Easy access into  town for dinner or groceries.

    Pretty, but be prepared

    It's a beautiful campground. The campground hosts never came around and it felt like we could have stayed for free. We had some questions about the area and in order to get some answers we had to drive to the nearest people. No cell service which is fine, vault toilets are a little smelly or at least the one near us. Beautiful campground, we saw no wildlife besides ground squirrels and some birds. We had a trail camera set up all night every night and caught nothing.

    Beautiful & private scenery + grocery convenience

    This is a large campground so I did have concerns with the potential lack of privacy and being too close to other parties. But I was pleasantly surprised to find my (walk to) campsite was very large and private enough, with river front access. Plenty of space to place food and other things in to the bear boxes, as I read bears frequent this campground. Bathrooms were nearby and well kept. Over all, I had a very pleasant experience at this campground.
