I take my children camping in Sequoia often. I have favorite places to visit, and some easy hikes to take. There is also a small lake close by where one can fish, swim, or rent a small boat.

Experience in the area

I've camped in both Lodgepole and Dorst campgrounds. There are plusses to both of them.

What do you like about this subject?

Sequoia is truly a beautiful spot. It is about 5.5 hours from Los Angeles, so we go there once a year. Also, it is not as crowded as Yosemite Nat'l Park.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The largest living thing in the world is in Sequoia. It is called the General Sherman Tree.

Hi Vicente,    From what I have seen, Space 100 is an excellent spot, and one that I would pick for my family.  You'll be near the river, and won't be so close to the other campers.  Good for you!    You're

Hi Amy,    I have never personally camped at sites 40 and 41, but they have always interested me as sites I would like to camp at.  I'd say go ahead & keep them since you already have them reserved.  I

2011-01-27 First time camper need advice in group campsite:

Hi Sandra,    At Lodgepole I would recommend the sites across the bridge.  That area is pretty flat, so if you pick different sites you could get them close to each other.    The other campground in the

Hi Sandra,    I really recommend booking sites at Lodgepole campground.  There is a section (across the bridge) that is pretty flat, and if you're going in a group you can book sites next to each other
