    Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park

    Sequoia Upper Lodge

    We went to the Lodgepole Campground-Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park and stayed for 3 nights at Site: 130. Check-in Time is 12:00 PM and Check-out Time was also 12:00 PM.

    This was a great site especially if you have kids with you. We had a 4 and 6 year old with us and the bathroom was super close to the site. The site was also close to the creek and little pools formed to dip your feet in... water was cold at the end of August! Loved the fire pit and the table and our camping neighbors were super friendly.

    The site was also walking distance to the shuttles that takes you to the various areas of the majestic and beautiful national park: Morro Rock, General Sherman Tree, Museum center, etc. We even saw bears while we were in the shuttle.

    The kids loved seeing deers, chipmunks and the bears from inside the shuttle. There was a bear's bathing pool that I wanted to check out but we didn't get to... NEXT TIME FOR SURE 😊

    Lemon Cove Village

    Nice Park, Well Kept Could use some updates

    Nice park, well kept, friendly staff. As you will see from the photos this is an old KOA. RV spaces are all pull through, and spaced well and are pretty level. Electrical is updated and spaces have okay water pressure. Has laundry and pool as well

    Restrooms and showers are clean but need updating.

    There is no cable tv hook ups and Wifi is available but it’s really worthless can’t connect once you are away from the office. Verizon Wireless is 2 bars of LTE works okay....

    Lots of great tent spots with shade, water and 110v outlets

    It appears that they are trying to make this a nicer place. (Note: my 3 star rating is for lack of cable and wifi) Which should have for $50 a night. Otherwise, I would give 5 stars. Would stay again though.....

    Lodgepole Campground — Sequoia National Park

    Sequoia

    Amazing views all around the campgrounds. If you want to get of away from the city this is the place to be...Love it.

    Lodgepole Campground itself is located in the beautiful Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in the central California region next to the amazing Sierra Nevada. Lodgepole is near the Kaweah River.

    The Giant Sequoia Forest it's a thing of beauty and the famous General Sherman Tree - the world's largest tree is an incredible experience to see up close.

    Dorst Creek Campground — Sequoia National Park - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

    Awesome campgrounds

    Center point for touring sequoia and kings canyon national parks. Free shuttle to take you all over the park. Great stream running through campgrounds upper and lower sections. Great hikes from campground. Especially, Muir groves and lookouts, breathtaking views. We also hiked lost groves which was very special hiking through meadows and going across streams. Saw many deer groups. Clean campsites and especially restrooms. We got to see two female bears walking at a distance from campground. Wildlife management team came and made sure bear stayed in it's nature areas. fun to watch and learn how they track bears and keep visitors informed on how to store our items with smells inside metal bear boxes. we had a amazing family vacation in one the most beautiful places on earth. the sequoia groves had great signage and easy trails to walk.

    Island Park

    Beautiful, but difficult

    This park is absolutely stunning this time of year. There are wildflowers everywhere and the weather was a perfect low 70s in the daytime and 50s at night. We stayed in spot 33 which says for 53’ or less… we are 42’ and barely fit so be careful there. Additionally, you will NOT fit here if you can’t take your rig past a 90* turn safely. It was a bit of a nightmare getting turned around to back in here (we have a 42’ toy hauler and a 3500 ram DRW with an Andersen hitch), BUT we’ve had an incredible week here. Stars were beautiful, the nature trail was perfect for our three boys, and the views are absolutely stunning. Worth the $20 a night. If you’re a big rig, park in overflow or the upper loop. Trust me on this.

    Lindy's Landing and Campground

    Right in the king river

    If you have a long fifth wheel or RV this place is perfect pull through parking full hook up. The front desk lady is so nice he has a small store there for incidentals that you might’ve forgot. Clean quiet. Great family place

    Camp Edison

    Room to Roam

    We have been coming to Camp Edison annually for the past 15 years and have never been disappointed. Each site has plenty of room and includes a picnic table and fire pit. It’s a short walk to Shaver Lake from virtually any of the sites, and several have a nice view of the lake. Fishing, boating, swimming or just picnicking on one of the many beaches surrounding the lake is a great way to spend your time. Some sites have full hook ups, but most have just electricity and cable TV, with water faucets nearby to fill your RV or use as needed if dry camping. There is a dump station on site and also a “honey wagon” that will come to your site and pump out your waste water, if you desire. Restrooms are clean and plentiful and each has a shower (25 cents for 2 minutes). The laundromat has come in handy several times, too. Camp Edison has great activities during the summer season including guided educational nature walks, both day and evening, as well as kids’ movies in the amphitheater. There is also a museum on site that offers activities and fun events like an ice cream social.

    Wishon Village RV Resort

    Unplug and Enjoy Nature

      We stayed at this campground may years ago (2006-2008) and it has remained one of our favorites.

      Our most recent stay was for a small rally of 8 class A RVs from 34' to 43' in length all with tow vehicles. Wishon was able to accommodate all of us. The drive to Wishon starts with a long climb to Shaver Lake.  Past Shaver Lake the road becomes windy for the remainder of the drive.  Expect at least a 40+ minute drive from the Shaver lake turn off. On the way you will pass a grove of Giant Sequoia trees with a pull out to walk or picnic among them.

      All sites are gravel and have full hook ups.  Some sites have 50 amp service but it will rarely be needed because of the elevation of 6800 feet. All sites will accommodate the RV, vehicle, boat, and more. Wishon also has tent sites with or without platforms. 

      There are many activities available from this campground. Hiking, mountain bike riding, Jeep trails (Dusy-Ershim Trail), and fishing.   Two reservoirs are nearby, Wishon and Courtright. Courtright at 8200' opens later than Wishon at 6600'. Rainbow and German Browns can be caught.

      Wishon Village has a nice store with most necessities and sells fishing licenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the RV size restrictions in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks?

Size restrictions for RVs in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks vary by location due to narrow, winding roads and limited campsite sizes. At Island Park, spots marked for 53' or less may be tight even for 42' rigs, so be cautious with length estimates. Wishon Village RV Resort can accommodate larger Class A RVs from 34' to 43' with tow vehicles. Many park campgrounds limit RVs to 30-35 feet maximum length. The roads to Cedar Grove and Mineral King are not recommended for RVs or trailers. Always check specific campground restrictions when making reservations, as some sites are designated for smaller vehicles only.

Which campgrounds in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks accommodate RVs?

Several campgrounds within and near Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks can accommodate RVs. Lodgepole Campground is located within the parks and can handle smaller to medium-sized RVs. When park campgrounds are full, Cherry Gap OHV Staging Area offers convenient free dispersed camping between the parks with sites that can fit small RVs. Other options include Dorst Creek Campground (when open), Azalea Campground, and Crystal Springs Campground. Keep in mind that most in-park campgrounds have limited amenities and size restrictions due to narrow, winding roads and smaller campsites.

May is particularly stunning at Boulder Creek RV Resort with wildflowers blooming and comfortable temperatures in the 70s during the day and 50s at night. Dunlap Canyon Retreat, about 30 minutes from the giant sequoias, is excellent in late spring and summer. Summer (June-August) provides full access to all park areas, though it's the busiest season. September and early October offer fewer crowds while maintaining good weather. Winter camping is possible at lower elevations, but many campgrounds close and roads may require chains or be impassable. Always check road conditions and campground availability seasonally.
