Fishing draws campers to Portal Forebay Campground, a forested site along the shore of the forebay reservoir in Sierra National Forest. The reservoir receives fish stocking multiple times each season, giving anglers regular opportunities throughout the summer and into fall. Campsites are arranged on both sides of the water, with access by car or on foot. The campground runs June through October, has pit toilets and picnic tables, and accommodates RVs up to 25 feet. Cell service is available, pets are welcome, and reservations can be made in advance. Anglers looking for a straightforward base camp with direct water access will find this site worth a look.
