A fine place to camp here at Willow Lake is First Falls Campground; the Pacific | |

Crest Trail - section 11 is a pleasant hiking trail nearby. This lake is so wonderful. A short trip to First Falls is always worthwhile; if the weather is pleasant, you can go for a hike along the Kings River Trail. Not sufficient
hours in a day to enjoy this place. Devils Postpile National Monument is a great place close to Willow Lake, and dry warm beds await you at Super 8 Motel - Bishop.
This spot, the Central Sierra Nevada, has so much outdoors entertaining
stuff. Camping is available at Birch Campground, and you'll find a pretty lake called Finger Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the John Muir Trail - Pacific Crest Section will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity; no need to travel far to stop by out of the ordinary stuff like Middle Palisade Glacier.

Sabrina Campground
 | 12 miles away
I have such fond memories of family trips to Sabrina and camping just up from the lake on the stream side. Don't know what the campground name was or even if it had a name back in thoes days. It was every summer in 1960's. First went there when I was a baby. My parents packed back in several times. Anyway, my Dad died a few months ago and he always said he wanted to go back before he died. I like to think that he is there somewhere fishing that stream by the campground that we all loved so much. Fond Fond memories.... |
Big Trees Campground
| 12 miles away
The only way to drop a kayak in Kings river is a very long drive (maybe 4-5 hours) to the west side or the range, or lugging it through the wilderness (over the spine). I think I would have to give a gold medal to anyone who would lug a kayak from Big Trees to Kings river. Just a heads-up.... |
