Potwisha Campground

Good location, near the entrance and good start to the day to start driving up to Sherman tree and/ or Moro rock. Trail to see the waterfalls is right inside which is very convenient. Bathrooms are well kept and everyone was respectful of the campground rules. You can see the stars and moon at night so well. Very quiet and can hear the river behind you. I personally liked the lower campground number 23.

Camped at site #22. Pretty secluded camp site next to the creek. Wasn’t too close to the other campsites. We tent camped and still had a huge amount of space. Stayed for one night mid Oct ‘24 and there were no campfires allowed which was a bummer. Wasn’t too cold either since we’re at the base of sequoia. Only ever seen a park ranger once when we were packing up to leave. Bathrooms were well maintained and had soap and toilet paper always on deck. Bear lockers were exceptionally large. Its our first time camping in bear territory and we were kind of nervous we wouldn’t be able to fit all our things. It fit our 65 qt and 48 qt cooler + 22 inch black stone with extra room to spare for all our other scented items.

This is a cool spot for families to hang. It’s low elevation so you don’t have to drive too deep into the park. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean. And there are several nearby. I didn’t see any showers, but that’s OK. You get the full experience. Other than that, they have RV hook ups and places where you can wash your dishes, including running water. and the camper close by each other, which is ideal for large groups.

Nice quiet campground in Sequoia National Park. Spaces are good size , must choose site well as some are in incline.

What a beautiful campground!!! We had Site #16 and enjoyed our 2 night stay here very much. Had a 30 feet rv and it fit perfectly in. With much longer vehicles, it might get hard to drive the campground. Site was very unlevel. Nice private access to the river in only 2 minutes. Unfortunatly no fires were allowed.

So the location was great but our camp site was a little hard to find because we weren't given a map or any clear directions. Our spot was big which gave us some privacy but the campers coming in late while we were asleep sounded like they were coming over the hill and straight into our tent. And the bees. .. oh the bees, They drove us INSANE until dark. The people before us left trash all around the site that we had to pick up. The bathrooms were conveniently located for us and seemed to be maintained. There is a locking bear box.

Nice little NP campground at the lower end of Sequoia. We'll appointment, dump station right opposite. Most sites are due tenting but a few big and flat enough for trailers and motorhomes. Lovely Creek a short walk away

Went during July 4th weekend and my god was it HOT. It was 115°F all ****ing weekend because this campsite was at the base of the mountain. Legitimately felt like I as going to overheat to death. Definitely not a place during the summer. It was just absolutely sweltering, and can't really do anything during the day time unless you drive yourself up to Lodgepole area (45 minutes away) where it's cooler. Or hangout by the river nearby (go past site 14 onto the trail to Marble Falls trail), buuut downside is that during hot weather, everyone and I mean EVERYONE hangs out by the river. Every time I tried to go and cool down, easily 40+ people already there. It's nice that the site is close to town so if you're missing anything, you can just drive down and grab stuff. It's also not too far from popular main trails, easy access between town and places like Lodgepole too. There's bear boxes for your food, but absolutely baked every thing that wasn't in a really good cooler because the bear boxes just sits in the sun and it's like a 300°F oven during hot days. There's restrooms, no showers though. Restrooms were... Rough. 😂 Not sure if it's because women like to wash their hair in there or what but it was always clogged with hair and fake lashes all over the floor. There's A LOT of insects and bugs in there. But appreciated that there was a main large sink for dishes and some campsites had their own water spigets. Rangers came to check in once a day (midday, sometimes in the morning) or so when we were camping there, but no hosts so no enforcement of quiet hours at night. Would I book this site again? Probably not. I'd aim for higher elevation campsites.
