This intimate single-loop campground caters to tent campers and small trailers seeking a tranquil forest retreat with easy access to fishing and swimming holes.
Situated deep within Sierra National Forest, Sweetwater provides a genuine backcountry camping experience just 37 miles northeast of North Fork. The campground's location strikes an ideal balance between seclusion and convenience, offering a peaceful base for exploring the rugged beauty of the surrounding wilderness while remaining within reach of basic supplies.
Campers can immerse themselves in nature with creekside sites that invite relaxation to the soothing sounds of flowing water. Hiking trails lead directly from the campground into the surrounding forest, allowing for impromptu adventures. For those seeking aquatic pursuits, nearby Mammoth Pool Reservoir presents opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming in crystal-clear mountain waters.

Its rustic charm and connection to the natural environment make it a favored destination for those seeking to disconnect from the bustle of everyday life and reconnect with the Sierra's untamed landscape.
