This was THE best spot (we didn't check out any other spots lol). We had direct access to the river and the site was very flat.We loved it here. The bathrooms were fairly close and fairly clean!

Very nice, very quiet, but too open to public. Our site was occupied by a car from outside for hours, nice and helpful rangers, but not successful

Nice small campground at the end of the Sequoia NP.

Best spot in the whole site! Backs up to the creek which makes a perfect white noise machine. Loved being able to track over to campsite 16 to go down to the water and lay on the huge rock!

This site is great because it provides a view down the canyon, a perfect picnic table to watch stars, and a great flat spot for the tent. Plus because it isn't in the tree thickets there are less bugs and more of a breeze.

This is a campground where you need to be careful in selecting your campsite if you are tent camping. In general, the sites from # 14 to # 25 are more level and spacious than those on the hill. I had # 20 which was excellent. Flushing toilets are in typical, antiquated buildings.

The campsite is nice but its definitely overpriced. Sites without showers or hot water should not cost almost $30.

What a stunning place to set up camp. We specifically had campground 20, and to be honest I think it's one of the best in the whole campground. It has ample space, and sits on a hill just above the flowing water. Natural white noise machine for the win. At night, you'll have a beautiful fairly open view of the stars overhead, with the mountains looming large in the foreground. Nice for some astrophotography.

Great location, spot 19, was ideal for just a walk down the hill to the water and we were able to enjoy many aspects from hiking to driving up to giant forest. Will return and def recommend. Some att users may get some coverage at this ground. My sprint/tmobile was dead and no connection

Stayed at site 20 and it was beautiful. Right next to the river and a great place to play with the family. Also a great trail that starts at the back of the campsite. Awesome star gazing and falling asleep to the sound of the river will be great for the whole family

This was my first time doing a camping trip on my own with my girlfriend. This site was absolutely amazing! Easy to book, easy to find, clean restrooms, convenient dishwashing sink, campsites are very spaced out from others, and a very nice trailhead nearby. Overall an amazing experience, will definitely be back soon.

Be situated in a valley and beside a stream, under a big tree, on the grass, not cold at night, hot in the morning.

My second time at Potwisha was amazing. I love this camp site. Tall trees provide shade throughout all the campsite and The river provides a soothing sound all day long. Hiking trails around the camp are nice. Park ranger was on site and was very helpful. Definitely coming back to this site.

Sequoia NP is one of the most impressive national parks I have visited. The campgrounds on this park were very clean, and this one specifically was by a river where we encountered deer just yards away from where we were camping. Absolutely beautiful.

Campsite was nice, but a little too close to a large group that didn't respect the quite hours and drunkenly disputed my right to tell them to be quiet and turn off their generator at 12:30am. Great hike to Marble Falls from the campground.
