Vault toilets and drive-in access make Beardsley Dam Campground a functional base for anglers and day visitors in Stanislaus National Forest. Sites are spacious, and the lake is accessible on foot, though the slope down to the water is steep enough to be a challenge for young children. No pets are allowed. Trash service is provided, and the campground accommodates big rigs. Pack water shoes and fishing gear, and plan for the descent to the lake before committing to a lakeside setup.
