Gates Lake is a lake worth visiting. This is no site for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. Catavee - Sierra National Forest is a great local campground; paddling on San Joaquin River is so much fun. Chilcoot - Sierra National Forest is a perfect campground nearby, and if you need a site to stay Comfort Suites Clovis is a nice choice.

Dorabelle Campground - Sierra National Forest
 | The campground was very nice, walking distance to the lake, nice size lots with extra space to play games, etc. Beautiful trees and scenery, many acitivies to do, hiking, bike riding, swimming, horse back riding among other things. The only disadvantage is there are no showers, we had to go to the next camp ground, Camp Edision to shower for a small fee but other than that it was great, also the staff is extra friendly and very helpful.... |

This is a great lake in the Sierra foothills outside Fresno. It's a good windsurfing lake on stormy days although it gets very gusty. The best place to launch is on the east side of the lake. But if you're not windsurfing the west side is a lot nicer and less crowded with lots of big rocks and small scattered beaches. There's a small waterfall on the west side as well just a very short hike up the hill. Camping is on the west side as well.... |

| I agree that Millerton is a wonderful place but the ''summer temps'' are typically close to a hundred. Not 80, so be prepared and I wouldn't say it ''gets lots of rain.''...madera side camp ground by boat launch... |
