About Jerseydale Campground

Jerseydale Campground sits at 3,701 feet in Sierra National Forest, where pine and cedar trees shade sloped campsites along a rustic dirt road. The campground charges $10-20 per night and caters to tent campers, RVers, and equestrians, with fire rings and picnic tables at each site. It's quiet and removed from crowds, but there's no potable water and finding the entrance at night can be tricky.

Jerseydale Campground provides rustic camping options suitable for small groups and horse campers. Campsites are located on a slope, limiting the availability of tent setups.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings daytime highs in the 70s-80°F and cool nights in the 40s-50s. The shade helps, but you're still warm enough during the day for hikes or horseback riding. Visitation picks up on holiday weekends but stays lighter than lower-elevation Sierra spots. Winter temperatures can drop to -16°F, limiting access and appeal for most campers.

ElevationPerched on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, the campground's elevation provides a perfect balance of accessibility and mountain atmosphere, offering cooler temperatures and cleaner air than the valley below.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground spreads across a granite slope covered in pines and cedars. Most sites sit on uneven terrain, with only a handful level enough for tents. The tree canopy provides consistent shade and filters valley heat during summer. Views are limited to the surrounding forest rather than long vistas.

Geological RegionSituated within the magnificent Sierra National Forest, Jerseydale Campground rests on the ancient granite slopes that define this legendary mountain range. The terrain, sculpted by millennia of geological forces, creates a dramatic landscape where pines and cedars sink their roots deep into the mountainside, standing as sentinels over this peaceful retreat from civilization.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no indications of hotel-style lodges or luxury accommodations.

Programs & ActivitiesCultural or educational programs are not part of the campground features.

Go if

Equestrians and tent campers who bring all their water and arrive before sunset will find a genuinely quiet alternative to the crowded Yosemite-corridor spots, at a hard-to-beat price.

Skip if

No potable water on-site is a real logistical hurdle, and the few level tent spots go fast on holiday weekends since it's first-come-first-served with no reservations.
