Free camping on Redinger Lake in Sierra National Forest draws a mix of drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in campers to this dry, exposed site in North Fork, California. Sites are unshaded, conditions run hot, and RVs up to 25 feet are welcome. Weekdays tend to stay quiet, but weekends bring a noticeable uptick in RV traffic. Cell signal runs to one or two bars, vault toilets are on-site and kept clean, and the surrounding area gives access to lake swimming, fishing, and hiking trails. Smalley Cove Campground sits a few miles west for campers wanting a different setup.
