Auxiliary Dam Campground

Auxiliary Dam Campground offers affordable first-come, first-served dispersed camping ($12/night) directly along Lake Isabella's shoreline with vehicle access to water's edge, making it ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking budget-friendly lakeside access.

The facility provides basic amenities including flush toilets, drinking water, trash service, and a dump station (fee required), with portable toilets available below the high-water mark during summer months.

Located off Highway 178 near Lake Isabella town, the sandy/dirt roads and open terrain allow easy boat launching and water access, though sites are closely spaced with minimal shade or privacy.
