Lodgepole Campground is located in the Giant Forest region of Sequoia National Park in California. It is close to amenities and attractions, but still far enough away to have a secluded, “alone-with-nature” atmosphere. Many campsites are near the Kaweah River or green meadows. Most hiking trails are easy enough for children to tackle and wildlife is often present in the surroundings. In the park, families may want to visit the Crystal Cave — a natural wonder made of marble with icicle stalactites. Moro Rock is also nearby, displaying a huge granite dome with an amazing view at the summit. It is the perfect place for families who want to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Lodgepole has over 200 sites that are open year-round. Each area contains a fire pit with a grill, a picnic table and bear-proof food containers. The property has flush toilets and showers. Drinking water and a large dump station are also available. Though there are no trailer hookups in the park, there are pay phones that guests can use if needed. There is a deli at the visitor’s center that will supply additional food. This is a very popular campground, so it’s a good idea to make reservations months in advance. Guests can stay up to two weeks.
