The campground is equipped with a chemical toilet and is located near the Valley Oak and Meadows campground loops, providing convenient access to additional park amenities. The region enjoys a temperate climate with warm springs, hot summers, and cool winters, making it suitable for year-round camping. Campers can access nearby trails for equestrian use, including the developing San Joaquin Trail that will eventually provide extended hiking, biking, and equestrian access through the park. Millerton Lake itself offers excellent recreational opportunities including boating, fishing, and water sports. The lake is nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills approximately 15 miles east of Fresno. Standard camping rates apply, with check-in at 2:00 PM and check-out at noon.
