About

Whisky Falls Campground is a small, primitive campground tucked into the Sierra National Forest within the Bass Lake Ranger District. The campground features 14 sites available on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees required. Basic facilities include vault toilets, but there is no potable water available, so campers must bring an adequate supply. The campground sits at approximately 4,700 feet elevation and is accessible via California Highway 233 and Forest Road 8S70 from North Fork. The seasonal access road typically opens in June, weather permitting, and closes with the first significant snowfall. This is a popular area with heavy usage during peak season, so arriving early in the day on weekends is recommended. As a primitive forest service campground, amenities are limited. There are no showers, RV hookups, or dump stations. The rustic setting appeals to tent campers and those with smaller rigs seeking a quiet retreat in the Sierra Nevada.

Directions

From North Fork, go north on CA 233 and Forest Road 8S70.
