This place is definitely a great place to camp. My husband and I went for 2 night camping at Giant Gap but we ended up stay just 1 night because it was really cold. And we didn't expect that it will rain or be super windy. Anyway, there is a toilet, table, grill, fire ring and bear lock for campers. Unfortunately, we are unable to start the fire because of the fire restriction at the moment. We stay at no. 23 but I would say no. 22 would be the best as there is no tree blocking you from the lake view. You can also walk around the lake. It will be couple hours of walk but it worth it! The trail is very nice as well. I will definitely go back there again when there is no fire restriction and perhaps in the beginning of summer. Super happy with this place

We only visited the lake, the parking lot is small and you must come early if you're parking on the daily visit parking. The place is great for hikes or picnics, the water is clean and pleasant.

Nice and we'll kept forest service camping facility. Very popular with Sacramento area residents. It's about 54 miles from our front door. Heavily forested and green in this secluded area. Sugar pine reservoir suffers a bit from drought conditions here in California. Reserve early in the year for Giant Gap. Lots of people are into the outdoors lately.

Years ago we use to camp most of the summer at Giant Gap and now I am encouraging my grown children to take their children so they can experience all the amenities of a piece of the past. I am sure my ghosts are still there Want to go back this year 50 years later.
