Sardine Campground

Of course I will give this 5 stars, I'm the host! But it really is a nice place to spend down time and enjoy the Buttes, lakes and mother nature. I strived to keep the restrooms clean but need to know the secret to combating flies and smell, but I did my best. The cg is constantly full so you know a lot of people like it and come back annually for reunions, birthdays, school groups and just to get outdoors! You won't be disappointed.

Typical NFS campground. Sites were relatively litter free. Happily, folks seem to pick up after themselves pretty well. Pit toilets, potable water, plenty of hiking and walking options, great views and access to Sierra Buttes. Nearby lakes to paddles, swim, splash. Plenty of trees for shade and setting up a hammock. Dog friendly. Bear country: be bear aware and secure food and trash appropriately. Not everyone did...

Gorgeous area, near to swimming and hiking. Excellent campground - clean, easy to get to, pit toilets and water available. No cell service - was great to detach from devices and spend some time with mama Earth. Concerned by the health of the pine forest but incredibly beautiful area, highly recommend.

The lake had lots of seaweed and I saw a few small snakes. The campsites were a little small. There was a faucet which was great. Lots of trails nearby if you like hiking. There was also a place for fishing, but you would need a boat if you wanted to catch any fish. Other than that this was a great place. The mornings are very peaceful and quiet and the scenery is beautiful.

Great campground if you have younger kids. Place usually is packed on weekends and if you have a center spot on the west end there isn't much privacy. Sardune,lake is great for fishing. The campground has water but this weekend it must had had an issue with the system as it was all posted do not drink. Recommend hauling water or calling forest set ice for status of potable water
