Campgrounds near Exeter, California
Exeter sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Tulare County, on State Route 198 between Visalia and the Ash Mountain entrance to Sequoia National Park. From Exeter, it is almost a straight shot to Sequoia National Park's Ash Mountain Entrance via California State Route 198, with the park roughly 35 minutes east depending on traffic. That position makes Exeter a practical RV base for trips into Sequoia and Kings Canyon, Lake Kaweah, and the Kaweah River corridor through Three Rivers.
RV options around Exeter range from full-hookup private parks to federal campgrounds. Lemon Cove Village RV Park lies east of town toward the park entrance, with Country Manor Mobile Home Community closer to Exeter itself, and Royal Palms and Sequoia Campground and Lodge serving travelers heading up Highway 198. West of Exeter, the Visalia / Sequoia National Park KOA Journey provides a valley-floor base with full hookups. From the KOA, day trips reach downtown Visalia with its shops and restaurants, or Exeter with its murals and antique shops.
Things to do near Exeter
Most RV trips out of Exeter point east into Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Sequoia's Giant Forest holds the General Sherman tree and other sequoia groves, and the park also contains marble caverns, waterfalls, meadows, glacial valleys, and hundreds of miles of hiking trails. Lake Kaweah, about 20 miles east on Highway 198, is the closest water-recreation hub. Visitors find excellent fishing for rainbow trout, largemouth bass, catfish, and others, with the lake popular for boating, jet skiing, sailing, and waterskiing, and a marina that provides boat rentals, boat slips, and fishing supplies. The Kaweah River through Three Rivers offers swimming holes and seasonal rafting. In town, Exeter City Park spans about 2.5 acres in the heart of downtown and has play areas for the kids, while the nearly 5-acre Unger Park hugs the southwest corner of town, sporting a tree-dotted, 9-hole disc golf course. Exeter's mural-covered downtown is an easy evening walk.

The foothills around Exeter run hot and dry in summer and mild and wet in winter. Camping near Exeter sits at low foothill elevations, with year-round access and temperatures that swing from chilly winter nights to triple-digit summer afternoons. Valley-floor RV parks stay open all year, but conditions inside Sequoia National Park vary sharply with elevation and season.
Inside the park, only two campgrounds operate year-round. Potwisha in the foothills and Azalea at Grant Grove are the only two campgrounds open year-round. High-elevation sites are seasonal: Lodgepole Campground is tentatively open mid-June through early December, subject to change due to weather and other conditions. Dorst Creek has no current operating dates due to hazard tree mitigation. Spring brings wildflowers and high, cold rivers; the Horse Creek campground road is subject to closure from late April through July as the lake rises. Fall offers cooler days and lighter crowds in the foothills, while winter can bring chain controls on park roads above the foothills.

Its was our first time camping and we are very lucky we found this one. Alex is a great host and explained everything before we departed. We were a little stressed as it was our first time camping in King's Canyon, but Alex made us feel comfortable with the trailer and walked us through everything. The trailer is super neat and clean we didn't have to do anything to set up. We put our stuff in it and it was ready to go which made our trip a lot easier. Alex is very friendly and was available throughout our whole trip in case we had questions and needed help. We will definitely be coming back to Alex for all our camping adventures. Thank you it was a great experience!
Kevin O. - Jul 2026
We had a great week in the Sequoias using Alex’s trailer. It was extremely clean and had great supplies available. The kids loved their bunkbeds plus the option to sleep on the fold-down dinette area. Communication with Alex was great - he provided lots of helpful details and helped us resolve one minor issue right away. Definitely recommend!

How to book campgrounds near Exeter
Private RV parks around Exeter, including Lemon Cove Village RV Park, Royal Palms, Sequoia Campground and Lodge, and the Visalia / Sequoia National Park KOA Journey, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Federal campgrounds use Recreation.gov. Sequoia and Kings Canyon reservations open on a one-month rolling window through Recreation.gov: on the 15th of each month at 7:00 AM Pacific Time, reservations become available for one month ahead. For example, June reservations open on May 15th. Summer demand is extremely high, and popular campgrounds like Lodgepole fill within minutes of reservations opening. At Lake Kaweah, reservations are required at least 1 day in advance of the planned arrival date, with no same-day or first-come-first-served reservations. Book the park campground first, then anchor private-park nights around it.
What to expect on the ground
Foothill RV parks near Exeter are warm, sunny, and largely open, so shade and hookups matter more than elevation views. Inside Sequoia, expect a different rig environment. There are no RV hookups at any of the park campgrounds, and three campgrounds have dump stations: Potwisha, Lodgepole, and Dorst Creek. Generator hours vary by campground but are generally not allowed after dark. Vehicle length is a real constraint: visitors with vehicles over 22 feet in total length hoping to visit the Giant Forest or camp at Lodgepole and Dorst Creek Campgrounds are advised to enter via the northern, Highway 180, entrance to these parks. Bears are active at higher elevations, and food and scented items must be stored in the bear boxes provided at each site. At Lake Kaweah's Horse Creek, expect open sun: the campground is settled in a broad, arid valley with few trees, and shade is limited.

rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Exeter%2C%20CaliforniaCan I get the RV delivered to me in Exeter, CA?
Yes, many RVezy hosts in the Exeter area offer RV delivery. Your host can drop the RV at your home, a local campground, or a destination like Lake Kaweah or the foothills near Sequoia National Park, then set it up and walk you through the systems. Delivery is especially helpful for first-time renters or anyone who does not want to tow. Delivery fees and distance limits vary by host, so confirm details before booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Exeter%2C%20CaliforniaHow far can I drive my RV rental from Exeter? Is there a mileage limit?
Most RV rentals in Exeter include a daily mileage allowance, often around 100 to 150 miles per day, with additional miles available as a paid add-on. Some listings offer unlimited mileage, which is ideal for longer road trips to Yosemite (about 3 hours north), Pismo Beach (about 3 hours west), or Kings Canyon National Park (about 90 minutes northeast). Check the mileage section of each listing and message the host if you need extra flexibility for your itinerary.

Exeter is a convenient base for RV camping in the southern Sierra. Lemon Cove Village RV Park offers full hookups and a pool just east of town on the way to Sequoia. Kaweah Park Resort has shaded riverside sites near the Kaweah River. Horse Creek Campground at Lake Kaweah is a great choice for water lovers. For a true national park experience, Potwisha Campground inside Sequoia National Park accepts RVs up to about 24 feet. Reserve early for summer weekends, when sites fill quickly.
nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmWhat is the best time of year to rent an RV in Exeter, CA?
Spring (March to May) and fall (mid-September to November) are the best times for an RV rental in Exeter, with comfortable temperatures typically in the 60s to 80s F and blooming orange groves or fall color in the foothills. Summer days often top 95 F in the valley, but it is still a popular time because Sequoia and Kings Canyon offer cooler high-country escapes. Winters are mild in town with chilly nights, and campgrounds are quieter, making it a great time for a peaceful trip.
weather.gov/hnx/I have never rented an RV before. Will someone show me how everything works?

Renting an RV in Exeter opens up the entire western US. Many hosts allow travel throughout California and to neighboring states like Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon, perfect for road trips to Yosemite, Joshua Tree, the Central Coast, or even the Grand Canyon. Each listing shows its specific travel range, and travel into Mexico is not permitted. If you are planning a longer route, message the host before booking to confirm the trip works for their RV.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Exeter%2C%20CaliforniaHow should I budget for gas on my RV road trip from Exeter?
RVs typically get 8 to 14 miles per gallon, with smaller campervans on the higher end and large motorhomes on the lower end. California gas prices in the Central Valley are among the highest in the country, so plan to budget roughly $35 to $55 per 100 miles depending on current pump prices and your RV size. Fill up in Exeter or along CA-99 before heading into the mountains, where stations are limited and prices are usually higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Exeter, CA?
For spring and summer weekends, reserve your campground as soon as your RV rental in Exeter is confirmed, especially near Sequoia National Park and Lake Kaweah. National park sites like Potwisha and Lodgepole open reservations up to six months in advance on Recreation.gov and fill quickly. Private parks like Kaweah Park Resort and Lemon Cove Village sometimes have last-minute openings, and Horse Creek at Lake Kaweah is bookable through Recreation.gov. Midweek stays offer the best flexibility for spontaneous trips.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2972Is it hard to drive an RV around Exeter or to Sequoia National Park?
Driving an RV around Exeter is straightforward, with wide streets and light traffic in town and on Highway 198. The Generals Highway into Sequoia National Park is narrow, curvy, and steep, and the National Park Service restricts vehicles longer than 22 feet on the stretch between Potwisha and Giant Forest. If you plan to drive deep into the park, choose a smaller RV or campervan, or consider RV delivery and use a separate car for sightseeing. Always check road and weather conditions before you go.
nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/conditions.htmWhat kind of hookups and amenities do campgrounds near Exeter have?
Campgrounds near Exeter range from full-hookup RV parks to rustic national park sites. Lemon Cove Village and Kaweah Park Resort offer full hookups with water, electric, and sewer, plus amenities like WiFi, showers, and laundry. Horse Creek Campground at Lake Kaweah provides basic sites with restrooms and potable water. Potwisha Campground in Sequoia National Park has no hookups but offers a dump station and potable water. Plan ahead for dry camping by filling fresh water and emptying tanks before heading into the park.
nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmWhat features and amenities can I expect in an Exeter RV rental?
Most motorhome and trailer rentals in Exeter come well equipped for valley heat and mountain trips. Expect queen or larger beds, a kitchen with fridge, stove, and microwave, a bathroom with shower, and air conditioning. Many listings include TVs, awnings, outdoor chairs, and onboard generators for boondocking near Sequoia. Some hosts offer extras like bike racks, kayaks, or kid-friendly bedding kits. Each RVezy listing shows a full amenity list so you can choose the rig that fits your trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Exeter%2C%20CaliforniaCan I customize my RV rental with add-ons or choose when to pick up and drop off?
Yes. Many Exeter RV listings offer paid add-ons like bedding and towel kits, camp chairs, outdoor grills, generators, and extra mileage packages. You select your preferred pickup and drop-off times at booking, and the host will confirm what works. If you want unlimited mileage or specific gear for a Lake Kaweah kayak trip, use the search filters or message the host before booking to make sure the RV is ready for your plans.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Exeter%2C%20CaliforniaHow do security deposits and payments work for Exeter RV rentals?
RVezy processes all booking payments securely through the platform, typically by credit card. A security deposit, usually a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars depending on the RV, is placed as a hold on your card rather than charged, and is released after the trip once the RV is returned in its original condition. The security deposit is separate from your booking payment. Returning the RV clean and on time helps ensure a quick release of the hold.
