Soda Springs Campground Access

Soda Springs Campground Access provides entry to a USDA Forest Service campground along Chiquito Creek in Sierra National Forest, offering vault toilets and picnic facilities on a large sandy flat with good shade.

The site accommodates vehicles up to 20 feet and operates on a first-come, first-served basis (May-September, $41-$82/night), though potable water is not available and boats cannot be parked at individual campsites.

Access is via Minarets Road (Forest Road 81), approximately 27. 5 miles from North Fork, providing a gateway to fishing, boating, and hiking opportunities near Mammoth Pool Reservoir.
