They have a lot of what is needed for a camping trip with the kids. English muffins, eggs, hotdogs, bread, and more.

Omigosh, the trout sandwich is a diamond in the rough!! A bit pricey for a sandwich but SO GOOD (and understandable for seafood). They said it was locally sourced--I think I believe them. And the fries are skinny fries, which are my favorite and were quite good. Can't believe nobody's mentioned this sandwich in the reviews yet. GET IT.

This review is for the ICE CREAM. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!!! Especially "Huckleberry." My wife and I came multiple times to Lodgepole for souvenir shopping and ice, BUT we also came for sweet treats after a couple long days of hiking and exploring. Lodgepole was pretty busy by 11 AM and after. It was spacious and the dining area had plenty of seating inside and a handful of tables and chairs outside to enjoy any food. TREAT YOURSELF. It was sooooo good. Creamy, fruit-filled and large portioned. We loved it. In one visit we got a double scoop in a cup (perfect for sharing between two people) with Huckleberry and Chocolate. In our second visit I got a single cone with huckleberry. You won't regret it!!

As of 1/15/21 there is another page for the Lodgepole Village & Market, but *this* page has the correct map location. Hopefully you did your research before coming to the Sequoia National Park because chances are you might not have much cell phone coverage once you're here. ENVIRONMENT This medium-sized market is nestled just off of the Generals Highway. Just beyond the market with plenty of trees surrounding the area is the Lodgepole Campground. SERVICE The staff mostly keeps to themselves as they tend to be really busy checking out customers. MY FAVORITE PART... It's so convenient that the Lodgepole even exists because you don't realize how deep into the Sequoias that you are with the long, slow and winding two-lane road. On two different occasions it has basically saved my tail. We could've gotten by without it, but it was nice to break up the trip going in there with two young kiddos. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... Overpriced items. THE GOODS There is a plethora of souvenir items such as: t-shirts, magnets, jewelry, grow-a-tree kits, coffee mugs, thermoses, shot glasses, and postcards. For the campers and hikers that forgot a few things or need newness, there are hats, backpacks, collapsible pocket knives, over-the-counter medicines, jerky and plenty of other snacks. Some of the refrigerated to-go sandwiches were okay during our most recent visit (on 9/9/20 because the Wuksachi Lodge restaurant where we were staying closed early that morning, quashing our brunch plans). To my knowledge, only the market and gift shop was open during the COVID-19 pandemic, not the grill (which was pretty good a few years ago), the laundromat, and the public showers. That could have changed by now, though. PARKING There is plenty of free parking for all types of vehicles. Regular-sized vehicles closer to the building. An oversized vehicle and trailer lot within walking distance. TIP During COVID-19, the signs said they only accepted debit/credit card forms of payment. OVERALL Whether you're looking for some souvenirs or need forgotten items for camping and lodging, this place can be a reasonable sure bet. | Goods/To-Go Food: 4 | Service: 4 | Environment: 5 | Price: 3 |

Super convenient spot literally in the middle of the wilderness. Most things are actually pretty fairly priced as well, which is really surprising for a place like this. Convenient parking, and payphones outside that actually work (ours didn't at Potwisha campground). Maybe somewhere between a 4 and 5 star rating, but it's worth rounding up. ;)

Small but mighty is the best description of this village. There are 2 kinds of stores situated, one has limited items for souvenirs & the other is like a mini market with all kinds of souvenirs, emergency kit, snacks & other basic essentials. The second market is divided into different sections: cafeteria for light meals & drinks, laundry room & bathroom, very convenient for travellers. They also have a big patio to eat & relax. We enjoyed exploring this place & will definitely visit again.
