Tips
Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, the Watson Lake Campground offers a picturesque setting surrounded by forest along the tranquil lake. It doesn't feature any amenities and works on a first-come-first-serve basis.

It is a really peaceful place, where you will find some nice bivouac spots.

Lots of mosquitos during the summer, Good amount of shade and places to sit off the ground, however no water. There was some cellular service here though. (on AT&T)
