Blue Lake sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills near Emigrant Gap, California, accessed by a short hike or walk-in from the road rather than a drive-up site. Campsites are dispersed around the lake, giving each spot some separation. Picnic tables are on-site, and the lake supports fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Pets are welcome. Campers looking for campsites near Emigrant Gap have other options in the area, including Rucker Lake Campground about 1.2 miles west. The short carry from the trailhead makes Blue Lake a reasonable first step into hike-in camping.
