Campgrounds near Woodlake, California
Woodlake sits in Tulare County at the eastern edge of California's Central Valley, on Highway 198 between Visalia and the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada. The town functions as a low-elevation staging point for RV trips into Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, with the Foothills entrance roughly half an hour east via Lemon Cove and Three Rivers.
Most RV-friendly campgrounds cluster along Highway 198 in the foothills corridor rather than in Woodlake itself. Lemon Cove Village RV Park sits closest, near Lake Kaweah. Sequoia Campground and Lodge, Sequoia RV Ranch, Three Rivers Hideaway, and Sequoia Resort & RV Park line the route toward the park entrance, most along the Kaweah River. These private parks typically offer full hookups, dump stations, and easier big-rig access than in-park sites.
Inside the national parks, campers can choose from developed campgrounds ranging from walk-in tent sites to RV-capable loops, though hookups are not available and length limits apply on the Generals Highway.
Things to do near Woodlake
Lake Kaweah, just east of Woodlake on Highway 198, is the main local water destination. The reservoir supports boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, picnicking, hiking, and birdwatching. Anglers target largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, catfish, and rainbow trout, with a California fishing license required.
The Kaweah River corridor through Three Rivers supports seasonal whitewater rafting, with both family-friendly and more technical runs depending on snowmelt flows. Inside Sequoia National Park, the Giant Forest and the General Sherman Tree, the world's largest tree by volume, are the headline stops, along with Moro Rock, Crystal Cave, and the Tokopah Falls trail near Lodgepole. Kings Canyon adds Grant Grove and the Cedar Grove area to the north.

Woodlake itself stays accessible year-round, but elevation drives the regional camping calendar. Summer is peak season in Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and demand is extremely high; popular campgrounds like Lodgepole fill within minutes of reservations opening. Foothills heat regularly tops 35C in July and August, pushing many visitors toward higher-elevation sites along the Generals Highway.
Spring brings snowmelt, full rivers, wildflowers, and the start of rafting season on the Kaweah. Daytime highs in April and May are generally mild, with cooler nights and breezy afternoons. Higher-elevation campgrounds typically open as roads clear of snow.
Fall offers cooler foothill temperatures and lighter crowds. Winter is the wet season in the valley and brings snow at park elevations. The road to Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon and the Mineral King Road are both closed through the winter months. The Generals Highway stays open but brief closures occur during storms for plowing. Potwisha in the foothills and Azalea at Grant Grove are the two campgrounds open year-round.

always a pleasure renting from Ralph.
Michelle V. - Sep 2025
My fiancé and I had a great stay with this camper at Bass Lake. Pickup and drop-off were smooth; Ralph was very accommodating with our changing ETAs. If your vehicle requires a hitch pin that is longer than the standard length, like our Toyota Tacoma does, I would recommend bringing your own pin.

Our experience with Issac was nothing short of amazing. From drop off to pick up the whole experience was hassle free. The RV was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary equipment. We had no problems and will definitely be requesting his service again next year!

How to book campgrounds near Woodlake
Private RV parks along Highway 198, including Lemon Cove Village RV Park, Sequoia Campground and Lodge, Sequoia RV Ranch, Three Rivers Hideaway, and Sequoia Resort & RV Park, are booked directly with each property by phone or website. Summer weekends and holidays sell out weeks ahead, so locking in dates early is important.
For sites inside Sequoia and Kings Canyon, bookings run through Recreation.gov on a one-month rolling window. On the 15th of each month at 7:00 AM Pacific Time, reservations become available for the following month. Popular campgrounds like Lodgepole, Azalea, and Cedar Grove fill within minutes to hours of opening, especially for summer weekends. Horse Creek Campground at Lake Kaweah is also reserved through Recreation.gov and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
What to expect
Woodlake and the surrounding foothills are dry, sunny, and hot in summer, with limited shade at lake-level campgrounds. Many sites along the Kaweah River sit in a broad, arid valley with few mature trees, so RV renters should plan for heavy air-conditioning loads and verify hookup amperage at booking.
Driving into the parks involves steep, winding climbs on the Generals Highway. Length restrictions apply on sections inside Sequoia, and visitors with vehicles over 22 feet headed for Giant Forest, Lodgepole, or Dorst Creek are advised to enter via the Highway 180 (Big Stump) entrance rather than Highway 198. Bear-resistant food storage is mandatory at park campgrounds. Cell service is spotty east of Three Rivers, and fuel is easier to find in Woodlake, Visalia, or Lemon Cove than near the park entrance.
