Deanna Moradi
This campground was amazing. It’s only 14 sites so it felt very cozy. Each campsite had a fire pit with a grate, a picnic table, and a bear box. There is also a general store, restaurant, and saloon on the grounds walkable from the campground. The lake was gorgeous and so clean! We had a great time and definitely would come back

One of my favorite campgrounds on the western Sierra. Not too far from Fresno and about 2:45 from Bakersfield. The lake is beautiful and we try to get the lakefront sites to enjoy the water.

Pretty sure this is one of my favorite places on earth. An absolute beauty of a hidden gem in the Sierras. I have lived all around the world and around the country and Huntington Lake is one of the most special places I hold in my heart. Absolutely recommend.
