Best RV Parks & Resorts near Sequoia National Forest

694 Reviews

Sequoia RV Ranch near Three Rivers offers full hookups with 50-amp electrical service and water throughout the year. Several RV parks in the area provide varying levels of amenities, from the premium Boulder Creek RV Resort in Lone Pine to KRS RV Resort at Camp James along the Kern River. "We pulled in after 7pm and had no issues for turning the rv around and parking. Very clean and nice park," noted one visitor about Camp James, which features riverfront RV sites and a convenient dump station. Orange Grove RV Park in Bakersfield accommodates big rigs with concrete pads and complete hookup options, while Lake Olancha RV Park on the western edge of Death Valley offers 50 sites suitable for larger motorhomes.

Mountain road conditions require careful navigation when approaching parks at higher elevations. Nelson Falls RV Park in Camp Nelson has limited cell coverage, requiring advance map downloads before arrival. A visitor explained, "The drive up is a little daunting with going up the mountain, but the road was fine just take your time." Most parks enforce quiet hours starting at 10 PM, with some allowing generator use until that time. Reservation requirements vary seasonally, with Whitney Portal operating from April through October while facilities near Kernville and Lake Isabella remain accessible year-round. Pet policies are generally accommodating across most parks, though leash requirements are standard. Several facilities provide on-site dump stations, with Rivernook Campground, Haven RV Park and Sequoia RV Ranch all offering sewer hookups directly at motorhome sites.

    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.....

    Walker Pass Campground

    Small and Quiet

    Along Hwy 178 towards Ridgecrest you'll find this campground that is small but quiet and clean. It is not for big rigs or RVs. 

    There are 2 sites with fire pits and covered picnic tables that could fit a large van at most. There is one other spot that is level but has no fire pit or covered table. Further back are several scattered picnic tables and tent spots. There are also 2 unisex ADA accessible pit toilet bathrooms which were quite filthy.

    This is a stop along the Pacific Crest Trail. The scenery is an amazing mix of Joshua Trees, pines, chaparral, mountains and large rocks, some snow on the peaks facing north. It is close to the highway so there is some road noise and people stopping to use the bathroom. The road in is paved and narrow and potholed but passable.

    There was no cell service with AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.

    There is a donation based drop box for camping fee so pay what you want or what you can afford.

    Fires and charcoal grills are not allowed per sign at info board, camp stoves are ok.

    KRS RV Resort@Camp James

    Amazing Time

    First time to the Kern River. Loved it. We were there August 1-6. The River was a little low but it was perfect for us with our 5 year old son. We were able to float down the river in our inner tubes safely. We were told May to June the river is very high in this area. We also fished in the river. Our camp site was great. We stayed in site 81 in our class C RV. Corner site on a creek that ran through the campground. The creek was great to sit in to escape the heat and float down. Lots of kids and dog friendly. The WIFI was good to stream TV and ATT cell service was good too. The sites had power, water and cable TV hook up. There is a dump station in the campground. They clean and rake all camp sites after each use and they enforce the 10:00pm quiet time. It is a short walk/ride to Kern River Brewery. Or it is about a hour drive to Trail of 100 Giants Sequoia Trees. Can’t wait to stay here again.

    Fir Group Campground

    Great location on the North side of Sequoia

    Great location with store and restaurant a short walk away. Lake Hume not far away. Sites are normal National Forest small so no big rigs and no hookups, very popular and busy when we were there

    Tule - Success Lake

    Nice Views, plenty of sites

    We were unable to get into Sequoia National Forest due to damage on the road, which is no fault to the campground. But besides the national forest not much to do around the area unless you have watercraft. I do believe there are boat rentals. The lake is beautiful & peaceful, lovely sunsets there. Bathrooms are remodeled and very nice! Our site was at the end and did not have the cover over picnic table which would have been nice to know, bc we would have choose anothet but not a big deal. We had Verizon services work well there. Little t-mobile service.

    Sequoia RV Ranch

    Very cool campground

    Once again we heard about this campground from friends. We had been to the 3 rivers area before to camp but had stayed at another campground. This campground is our go to if we’re camping in Three Rivers. There are creek side full hookup pull through sites, pull through full hook site, back in full hook up and tent sites with raised wooden foundation for a tent. I would recommend this campground. Also the little town of Three Rivers is pretty cool to check out. Also there are a few places to fish and swim in the nearby Kaweah River. The campground is also a good place to stay if you plan on going up to Kings Canyon National park.

    Unexpected

    We heard good things about this campground from family so we decided to give it a shot. It’s about an hour and 15 minutes from our home in Bakersfield. That road off of the 65 is pretty decent as we have a 32 foot fifth wheel. As usual some sites are better than others there are some creek side sites that are very large and if there’s water are very nice. They have tent only sites as well. On our first trip we stayed in a pull through site. There is not a whole lot of space between campsites in this loop but it’s doable. They also have a stocked pond on site. However if you want to keep any of the fish caught, you have to purchase them. There are trails to hike. FYI, there is no cell reception and no provided wifi. Personally I think that’s a good thing 😬.

    Shaded Haven RV Park

    Worst campground I’ve ever stayed at!

    5+ years Full time RVer, worst ever campground we have ever stayed at, stayed in many states, long-term short-term, stayed at this one for two months, although had a reservation for three. Sites are too tight, everything‘s grayish/dusty and dirty, you’re near a rail track, that blows its horn for minutes 24/7, that includes 2 AM, that includes 4 AM. Many of the neighbors you’ll see look like they’re on (mental) disability and don’t look healthy. Hot tub is smelly and yellow water too often although they state they clean it almost weekly. I god major depression staying here.
