Sweetwater Campground
Laid out in a single loop along Chiquito Creek, Sweetwater Campground is shaded by pine, oak and cedar trees. Most sites overlook the creek or a brook that also runs by the campground. The campground attracts visitors primarily for its fishing and swimming holes. Each campsite contains a picnic table, grill and campfire ring. Vault toilets are provided. Campers must bring drinking water. Parking spurs are dirt and paved, but tight turns and trees at the edge of interior roads make this camp most ideal for pop-up tent trailers, slide-ins and tent campers. Sweetwater Campground is located close to Mammoth Pool Reservoir near the Ansel Adams Wilderness. This area is known for its jagged peaks, including 13,157-foot Mt. Ritter, and numerous lakes and streams. Many recreational activities are available at Mammoth Pool, including boating, trout fishing, hiking and swimming. FOR RESERVATIONS CLICK HERE
