About

Lower Billy Creek Campground is located on the northwestern shore of Huntington Lake in the Sierra National Forest, offering terrific views of the lake from every one of its 15 campsites. Nestled among dense fir and pine trees on the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada, the campground provides an excellent base for exploring the Kaiser Wilderness and the many activities available at Huntington Lake. The location offers access to numerous hiking trails including Rancheria Falls, Indian Pools, Black Point, and the 12-mile Kaiser Loop Trail which connects to an extensive trail network within the Kaiser Wilderness. Huntington Lake itself provides opportunities for swimming, sailing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and water skiing. The nearby Billy Creek Guard Station Museum, adjacent to the campground, provides historical overviews of Huntington Lake, Native Americans, and the Forest Service. The campground features paved parking spurs, though maneuvering RVs can be challenging due to tight spaces and close proximity of trees. California Land Management sponsors interpretive programs and nature walks throughout the summer at various locations in the area, including an amphitheater at nearby Upper Billy Creek. The 84-mile Sierra Vista Scenic Byway (Highway 168) makes an excellent day trip from the Huntington Lake area.
