Summary

Located on Huntington Lake in the Sierra National Forest, it offers a scenic lakeside, forested setting with mountain views. While it doesn’t provide public campsites, nearby campgrounds like Rancheria or Deer Creek offer established sites with pit toilets, potable water, fire rings, picnic tables, and RV access (some with hookups). Reservations are recommended via Recreation.gov, with fees around $34/night. Hiking, lake activities, and summer wildflowers abound. Best time to visit is June–September for warm weather and full lake access.

Camping Essential Practices

Pack It In, Pack It Out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
