Lodgepole Campground-Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
Lodgepole Campground is located in the breathtaking Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in central California's rugged Sierra Nevada range. It is perched on the banks of the scenic and lengthy Marble Fork of the Kaweah River, at an elevation of 6,700 ft. The inspiring Giant Forest Grove and the mighty General Sherman Tree — the world's largest tree in volume — are just two miles from the campground. Forty miles of trails, including the paved Big Trees Trail, invite visitors to immerse themselves in the majesty of the ancient grove. Several additional popular hiking and wilderness trailheads are close by, including the trail to Moro Rock, a granite dome with spectacular views of the Great Western Divide and the western half of the park. Tokopah Falls Trail is an easy walk along the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River, leading to an impressive 1200 ft. waterfall. Fly-fishing is also popular on the Marble Fork. Lodgepole is very popular with tent and RV campers alike. It has paved roads, flush toilets and drinking water. Picnic tables, fire rings and bear food storage boxes are provided at each site. Lodgepole Village is a quick 1/4-mile away, offering a visitor center, market, gift shop, and coin-operated showers and laundry facilities. Lodgepole pine, red fir and shrubs forest the campground, while towering groves of giant sequoias and craggy granite peaks dot the landscape. The Marble Fork of the Kaweah River is fed by snowmelt and flows seasonally through the site. This region is characterized by warm days and cool nights in the summer, and deep snow and cold days in the winter. The General Sherman Tree, General Grant Tree, Moro Rock and Tunnel Log are nearby, as are the Giant Forest Museum and the Lodgepole Visitor Center. Colorful Crescent Meadow offers views of vivid summer wildflowers and access to Tharp's Log, a cabin in a fallen sequoia. Tours into Crystal Cave, one of hundreds of marble caves in the park, give visitors an interesting view of rock formations, fossils, rare minerals and unique wildlife; tickets are required and must be reserved in advance, and are not sold at the cave entrance. Crystal Cave is about a 45 minute drive (13 miles/21 km) from the campground, and vehicles longer than 22 feet are prohibited on the narrow, winding Crystal Cave Road.
