Lodgepole Campground Map — Sequoia National Park
Use this Lodgepole Campground map to understand loop layout, restroom icons, water spigots, bear lockers, river/trail access, and shuttle points—nothing but the map and how to read it.
Lodgepole Campground Map Overview
The Lodgepole Campground map highlights multiple one-way loops along the Middle Fork Kaweah River in Sequoia National Park. It clearly marks loop letters, site numbers, restroom icons, water spigots, bear lockers, and shuttle/visitor center access—so you can orient fast without skimming general park info.
Loops & Layout
Loops branch from the campground’s internal roads near the Lodgepole Visitor Center. River-side loops place you near footbridges and day-use areas; upper loops sit slightly farther from traffic with more forest cover. All interior roads are one-way; staying right naturally carries you around to each loop’s exit.
- River-adjacent loops: Fastest access to river viewpoints and footpaths.
- Forest/upper loops: Quieter feel, more shade, fewer passersby.
- Wayfinding: Track increasing site numbers to verify you’re circling the loop correctly.
Map Symbols & What They Mean
Look for these icons when scanning the Lodgepole map:
- Restrooms: Building icons spaced through loops (often near mid-loop junctions).
- Water Spigots: Faucet symbols along loop edges and near restrooms.
- Bear Lockers: Box icons by each site pad—store all food/scented items.
- Shuttle/Transit: Markers near the visitor center and hub areas.
- Trail/River Access: Paths to the river corridor and signed trail connections.
Mobile tip: zoom until restroom and faucet icons are clearly legible, then pan along road edges to follow site numbers in order.
Best Areas on the Map
- Near the river: Short walks to viewpoints and footbridges; soothing water sound.
- Interior forest loops: More privacy and shade; lighter foot traffic.
- Near restroom clusters: Most convenient for families—use icon clusters as landmarks.
Pick your vibe by loop letter and site range—the icons make convenience vs. quiet easy to spot.
Using the Map On-Site
Keep the map on your phone or print it before you arrive. At each junction, match the loop letter, follow one-way arrows, and track site numbers as they increase. Use restroom icons and the visitor center as “you-are-here” anchors before committing to a turn.
