Overview
Overview
Sierra/Forks, situated near the Wishon Reservoir, offers a rugged, back-to-nature escape for those looking to disconnect in the Sierra National Forest. This park serves as a gateway to the high country, focusing on a rustic, outdoors-oriented experience rather than luxury resort living. Visitors find a serene environment that captures the quiet essence of the mountains, making it an ideal destination for travelers who prioritize proximity to wilderness trails and pristine water over elaborate modern conveniences.
Location & Surroundings
Located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, the park is nestled within a landscape defined by towering pine trees and dramatic granite peaks. The area surrounding Wishon, CA is characterized by its high-altitude wilderness and remote atmosphere. Because of its isolated position in the mountains, travelers should anticipate winding roads and limited cellular service. The park acts as a basecamp for those wanting to explore the deep forest landscapes of the central Sierra region.

Guests will find campsite hookups that accommodate various RV sizes, though the sites retain a classic, unpaved charm consistent with the forest setting. The park includes basic utility connections and fire rings, allowing for authentic campfire evenings. While amenities are kept simple to maintain the natural integrity of the site, the well-maintained grounds offer plenty of space for setting up camp beneath the expansive Sierra canopy.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw of this location is the immediate access to the Wishon Reservoir, which is a premier destination for boating and fishing enthusiasts. Anglers frequently visit the area to pursue trophy trout in the cold, mountain-fed waters. Beyond the water, miles of forest trails await hikers and mountain bikers. Travelers can also explore the scenic beauty of the surrounding wilderness areas, which offer breathtaking views and opportunities for wildlife observation in a truly tranquil environment.

The restaurant is absolutely fantastic. The rest of the resort follows suit and the staff are simply amazing. Their interest in what you want and need is genuine and heartfelt. Sure there are days where it might be a.lityle different but as a while every person on staff expresses genuine interest and desire to please the guests. From excellent food to great advice of local areas and even other restaurants to explore and visit. Not only is this place a welcome place for visitors to the area but great for locals as well. A must visit, because once you have you too will become a regular visitor.

Great staff but be careful when using their wifi. I asked to use a phone to contact my friends, due to having no signal on my phone. They said i could use the wifi "HUGE CHANCE YOUR PHONE WILL GET HACKED!" unless you have wifi protection or a VPN. I started getting random text messages, like being added to a group message and I had no idea who these people were.

Amanda is the rudest waitress of all times unless you’re a man?! She brought out cold food/coffee which was super weak, never offered refills, never brought out ketchup or syrup, told her our utensils were dirty while trying to hand them to her but she refused to take them so tossed them off to side of table, never asked how food was, and talked about my family to another waitress in front of us with while having her back turned as other waitress turned around towards us while looking at us. Complained to owner who comped entire ticket and apologized. Pray it comes from Amanda’s paycheck which is not much to begin with. No wonder she hates her job, she sucks at it! Millers point is 100% better. Don’t waste your time on poor service and food. Atmosphere outside is road view.

We've been regulars at The Forks Resort in Bass Lake for several summers now, and it truly never disappoints! There's a special charm that keeps us coming back, you truly get to relax while taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings. We absolutely love our cabins with their beautiful water views, and the convenient location means it's just a short stroll down to the restaurant and boat docks. Speaking of boats, we always rent one to soak up all the fun Bass Lake has to offer, and The Forks staff makes the whole process easy, stress-free, and enjoyable. Their boats are always clean and easy to operate. The Forks restaurant is another highlight, with a fantastic menu that has something for everyone in our group (including excellent gluten-free options—the salads are particularly great). If you're looking for a beautiful and charming lake getaway, we highly recommend The Forks Resort at Bass Lake. It's truly a gem!
