Visiting Sequoia and nearby Kings Canyon National Park had always been on our radar and now we were finally taking the plunge, and tent camping too.
Car fully packed, we arrived at the well-run Lodgepole Camping area in Sequoia and literally lucked into one of the most stupendous first-come-first-serve campsites. The ranger guy at the check-in hut nodded and smiled, as he was in-the-know that we’d scored one of the best, overlooking the rushing Marble Fork Kaweah River and a small waterfall. It was bliss.
