Official Forest Service pageWhitestar Campground
Whitestar Campground is in ponderosa pine and sage habitat at 9,300 feet on the northern shore of Twin Lakes Reservoir. Facilities include picnic tables with lantern poles, fire rings with grates, and vault toilets. There are three loops in which to find your perfect campsite: Sage and Valley Loops have reservable sites, while Ridge Loop is first-come, first-served. A boat ramp, parking, and angler fishing areas are just down the road from the campground. Firewood is for sale at the camp host site. Dates are weather dependent. All services may not be available early or late in the season. High altitude sickness may occur at this altitude.
