The net effect of this order is to reopen Kinnikinnick Campground and Florence Lake Picnic Area (i.e removing them from Exabit A of the Forest Recreation Closure list).
About
Soda Springs Campground is a primitive, first-come, first-served campground located along Chiquito Creek in the Bass Lake Ranger District of Sierra National Forest. The campground occupies a large sandy flat with good natural shade, providing a quiet setting for tent campers and those with smaller vehicles. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table, grill, and fire ring. The campground offers vault toilets but no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. There are no hookups, dump stations, or showers. The 20-foot maximum vehicle length makes this campground unsuitable for larger RVs or trailers. Boat parking is not available at individual sites, though boats can be stored at the nearby launch area or at Wagner's, a private campground in the area. Access is via Minarets Road (Forest Road 81), approximately 27.5 miles from North Fork. The campground typically operates from May through September, with a 14-day maximum stay and a limit of 6 people per site.
Directions
From Fresno, take Highway 41 north to Road 200. Turn right and travel east to North Fork. Continue through North Fork to Minarets Road (Forest Road 81) and travel 27.5 miles to the campground.
