Pine Mountain Lake Assn
Nice gravel campsites...bring your pads...extra charge for showers...Toulemne Fork here was dry on Sept 1.. Where's the water this year? JB...

River Ranch Campground
This is the best creekside camping we know of. Spacious sites, clean restrooms, friendly hosts. Highly recommend it....

Marble Quarry RV Resort
15 miles away
very awsome,great place for the family or anybody looking to relax and enjoy themselves. ...

Rainbow Pool Campground
17 miles away
The pools are a sacred historical Cliff Diving spot more than anything else. The diving area is neglected and needs a cement platform and better egress to prevent slips. Body surfing over the falls is thinkable only in high volume waterflow (spring months), since the sharp ledge below the falls will split your skull open after August/ Sept. Be careful! NO GLASS pack your trash! JB...

Lyons Reservoir
17 miles away
Saw a  rattlesnake on the track leading to the reservoir....I was up there two weeks ago- 10-18-09,came in the back way(dirt road) and there were fish feeding up at the surface but did not have a pole so could not try my hand. Looked promising though- going back this weekend....Go to the back side by where the river runs in... MURDER the trout on that end. Yes they do stock but it depends on what side of the lake you go to. If you have a 4x4 and a forest service map you can get to the good spots....Absolutely beautiful view, but there are thousands of mosquitoes, bring bug spray...
