Forks Campground (Sierra)

Campground was clean and camphost was friendly. If you need to be at Bass lake or need a place Convenient to Yosemite, then this is ok. No cell data for AT&T, but could call and text. The park really needs to clean up the low and encroaching limbs. There is no excuse to allow large limbs into the area where RV rigs will need to drive through or maneuver around when using the campground. I’ve stayed at numerous campgrounds and this one is the worse. I’m not talking about soft branches that brush by, but mature branches that scar the rig when they drag by or rake across the top. If you have a small RV, you will have less of an issue. I have 35’ motorhome. Convenient dump site, $10, near by. I would not stay again.

Hosts are very welcoming. Small campground feel, bathrooms were impeccable!! They are cleaned multiple times a day. Our site #7 was very clean. It had a flat area with a picnic table, fire pit ring in the middle and room for a small tent. We put our tent on the hillside, it was a little sloped but we had a big 6 person tent that wouldn’t fit on the flat area. Plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children. Bathroom and water were just behind us but far enough to not disturb us.

Site #27 had no shade at all...2 sites next to us also had no shade. A lot of the other sites had some pretty good shade though. Sites around us were very close to each other, hard to allow 6 people to camp comfortably. It was just 2 of us so it was okay. We were out a majority of the day to avoid the sun. Luckily we had a canopy so make sure to bring one or shade of some sort! Lake Bass was really nice, water temperature was perfect for the hot weather.

Bass lake is beautiful and a nice sight. The host was really nice and helpful. The camping site it self at least the one i reserved was about 15 feet from the main road that goes around the lake so we heard a lot of traffic trough the evening and random loud cars at night. There were a lot of meat bee's at my site, no big deal its nature, but be prepared for theme. Besides the vehicle noise which it did quite down around 09:30pm, it was a good place to camp, we had a clear view of the stars and you can gather fire wood from downed pines in the area as long as the wood you collect fit in the fire rings. Only take what you need of downed wood. Also the host sells wood for about 8$ a bundle that lasts about 4-6 hours of good warning fire. There is a small store about 500 feet from the site so you can go buy "evening refreshments" and snacks.

The camp host made this trip wonderful as well as having a great camp site. I love being close to the lake And to the Forks restaurant when I don't feel like cooking. Will definitely be back!
