Potwisha Campground

Towering oak trees cast dappled shadows across Potwisha Campground, offering a cool respite from the California foothills heat. This year-round campground strikes an ideal balance between accessibility and immersion in Sequoia National Park's natural wonders. With 42 well-maintained sites accommodating tents and RVs, Potwisha provides a comfortable base for exploring the park's lower elevations.

The campground's location along the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River creates a soothing backdrop of rushing water, while the nearby Marble Falls Trail offers an invigorating hike directly from the campground. Clean restrooms, potable water, and bear-proof food storage lockers ensure a convenient camping experience. The sites, though not overly private, are thoughtfully arranged to maximize views of the surrounding landscape.

Situated just four miles from the Ash Mountain entrance to Sequoia National Park, Potwisha serves as an excellent gateway for day trips to the park's iconic attractions. The Giant Forest, home to the General Sherman Tree, is a scenic 45-minute drive away, allowing campers to easily explore the park's majestic sequoia groves. For those seeking a more immediate connection to nature, the Kaweah River's inviting swimming holes are just a short walk from the campground, perfect for cooling off on warm summer days.
