Chilkoot Campground
Chilkoot Campground is a rustic Sierra National Forest campsite at 4,600 feet elevation near North Fork Willow Creek, offering vault toilets and fire rings but no potable water.
The campground operates seasonally May through September with sites suitable for both tents and RVs (up to 30 feet), though reservations through Recreation. gov require a 3-day advance booking with 2-3 night minimums.
Located within an hour of Yosemite and near the popular Bass Lake recreation area, it provides a shaded camping base for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts exploring the Sierra Nevada.
