Potwisha Campground

Potwisha Campground sits along the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River in the Sierra Foothills of Sequoia National Park, four miles from the park entrance and along the Generals Highway, offering convenience for visiting the many attractions in the park. There are numerous opportunities for fishing and hiking near the campground. The Marble Falls trailhead is situated adjacent to the campground and several other trails are a short drive away. Access to the Kaweah River is just a short walk across the street. The campground is open year-round to tents, RVs and trailers. Site 39 and site 40 are suitable for wheelchairs. Picnic tables, fire rings and food storage lockers are provided at each site, and flush toilets, drinking water and an amphitheater are available within the campground. A free dump station, open year-round, is located across the highway. The Foothills consist of the lower elevations of Sequoia National Park, where the grassy valley floor gives way to granite peaks. Oaks, chaparral and river canyons are plentiful here in an area with more biological diversity than the conifer forests and High Sierra combined. Winters are relatively snow-free and mild; summer is characterized by hot and dry weather. Wildlife is frequently seen in the area, including the American black bear, mule deer and bobcats, as well as numerous bird species. The campground is within a 45 minute drive of the Giant Forest, home to the largest trees on Earth, along with Moro Rock, Crescent Meadow and the Congress Trail. The Crystal Caves are about an hour's drive (18 miles/29 km) away.
