About

Midge Creek Group Campground is located along Kaiser Pass Road in Sierra National Forest, approximately 1.2 miles east of the Eastwood Visitor Center at Huntington Lake. The campground offers two group sites, each capable of accommodating up to 50 people, making it suitable for large gatherings, family reunions, or organized group outings. The sites are situated in a large, open flat area shaded by mature fir trees, providing a pleasant mountain environment. Each group site is equipped with tables, fire rings, and grills. No potable water is available on-site, so campers must bring their own supply. The campground features vault toilets for sanitary facilities. The access road is paved up to the campground entrance, with a dirt road leading into the camping area. Campground check-in is handled at the California Land Management office located at the east end of Huntington Lake. The campground typically operates seasonally from late spring through fall, with Kaiser Pass Road subject to winter closures that generally begin in December and last through May. Reservations must be made at least one day in advance, with a two-night minimum on weekends and a three-night minimum on holiday periods. The maximum stay is 14 days, and vehicles are limited to 35 feet in length.
