Rivernook Campground and KRS RV Resort@Camp James, both near Posey, permit pets throughout their established camping areas without breed restrictions. Visitors frequently choose these facilities for their comprehensive pet accommodations including water hookups, picnic tables, and reservable sites that create a comfortable environment for both owners and animals. At Holey Meadow Campground, campers with dogs should note the site's natural setting attracts local wildlife, including occasional bear sightings that require proper food storage.

Dispersed camping locations near Sequoia National Park provide secluded pet-friendly options with creek access where dogs can cool off during summer months. These sites typically maintain a primitive camping experience with no facilities but allow more freedom for pets to explore natural surroundings. The Trail of 100 Giants, located minutes from Holey Meadow, offers pet-friendly hiking opportunities through magnificent sequoia groves. Camping with dogs in this region requires preparation for wildlife encounters, as several campgrounds report bear activity, particularly during drought years when wildlife approaches campsites more frequently. Keyesville Recreation Area's dispersed camping provides free alternatives with basic toilet facilities while still allowing pets, though alcohol is prohibited in this particular recreation area.

    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!

    Bear Mountain RV Park

    Bakersfield, CA

    My first complaint is there is absolutely no signage into this campground. If not for GPS’s insistence we would have definitely missed. The sites are average for our 43’ motorhome. It’s all sand, no grass. Small grassy dog park which was nice. Soon as we got parked and went outside the smell of sewer greeted us. While it was a beautiful day to have the door open it was just way too unpleasant. There are no picnic tables and it’s pretty basic. The girl in the office was very pleasant. I guess it was ok for a 1 night stay even tho it is a ways off of the 5 fwy.

    Bear Mountain RV Park

    What this place lacks in amenities, it more than makes up for with the staff

    It took two tries to finally make it here. Our motorhome slide refused to slide. But a month later we made it. Feb 3 and it’s 70 degrees. Nice soft breeze. No pool. But our fur kids said the TWO dog parks made up for it. Judith the resident staff person was a ROCKSTAR in getting our reservations changed and rebooked. The spaces and long and plenty of side room for slides.. that you know…. Slide Definitely making this a come back to park.

    Sequoia RV Ranch

    Decent Campground, Close to Sequoia NP

    We 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.
