Highway 108 threads through the Sierra Nevada, linking a series of Forest Service campgrounds at different elevations. The corridor offers quick access to alpine terrain, though specific amenities, site counts, and fees vary by campground. The Forest Service publishes maps and comparison tables to help you choose a basecamp.

Natural Features and SceneryThe highway climbs through changing ecosystems. Lower elevations hold pine forests and granite outcroppings. Higher up, the landscape shifts to alpine settings with mountain streams cutting through the terrain. Each campground sits in its own microclimate, determined by elevation and exposure.
