I stayed at site 18 which was right along the river. You could hear it the whole time. The site was pretty flat but not level- it worked out fine for my camper van. Some wild turkeys were hanging out. It was a very nice experience.

Beautiful campground close to river and village. Bear warning though!

Our campsite was so hot with not much shade.

Located at Marble Falls trailhead this is a great campsite in Sequoia. Site has flush toilets and a sink for dishes. Campsites are spacious and clean with large bear boxes.

Great campground, beautiful setting. Someone was in our reserved space when we got there and the rangers were nice, helpful and got it resolved as quickly as could be expected.

18 and 16 both have small trails down to the river bank. Definitely would check out!

Great small campground along a roaring river. Our site was just above the river which made for a great sound blocking out most other campers noises. It was large and partially shaded. The bathrooms are old. I wish the NPS would build some new bathrooms in many of the national park campgrounds to replace these 50-yr old ones.

Great spot. Not a perfectly level place for a car, but not much. You can hear the sound of the river, a turkey sang in the morning (we saw him at this place when we arrived). I like all the sounds of nature, but if this bothers you, then it is better to choose a place on the other side.

Lovely quiet campsite next to a roaring creek. Helpful friendly campground host.

I have stayed here twice and both times I had a great experience. Lots are big and not too close to the others. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed the campground. Only "issue" was the lack of water spigots - only at the bathroom. Not a big issue.

Things were great for me at Potwisha. I felt sorry for people driving through the campground and weren't able to get a site on the spot. So many empty campsites.

Nice campsite, no issues. It was nice to hear the river flowing in the background.

We stayed at two different sites, both were a good size and not too close to neighbors. Facilities were very clean.

The campground was excellent except for dealing with loud music until about 10 pm from one campsite. Perfect campground for visiting Sequoia NP.

Lovely campground. Lots of twists and turns up the road to the magnificent sequoias.

Perfect for coming in at night because the campground is right next to the entrance of the park. First come first serve options available for new comers who did not have a chance to book in advance and very reasonable. The bathrooms were so clean with flush able toilets and it was super easy for me to access water to fill up my jug. Overall I would definitely stay again but make sure to look at the sites before staying because some are more open than others.

Campground was a little far from the main attractions but that was my fault for not looking I to that. The camp ground itself is very spacious. Seems like each site had more than enough room for a whole family. Also there is a little creek that runs right by there which is nice to go stick your feet in.

We had so much fun camping at Potwisha. We had never been before and managed to pick the perfect spot for our group. We loved being right next to the river and it was very convenient that we were just across the road from the bathrooms. It was a blast taking turns on the rope swing and jumping into the swimming holes throughout the day. Hiking and exploring were also lots of fun. The campground and surrounding areas are beautiful. We definitely look forward to visiting again.
