Chilkoot Campground

Overall: great campsite.
My friend and I wanted to camp in Yosemite but all the camp sites were full so we decided on this one. The online reservation didn’t give us a campsite number but when we drove into the site, we noticed our name was already posted on one of the sites so we pulled into the spot and parked. We got there on a Thursday night and the local ranger who lives at the site came around and checked us in on Friday morning and gave us a parking pass.
The campground is pretty shaded and there are 2 «toilets» that had toilet paper. No running water or showers are available. We filled up a 5 gal water container in Fresno before heading over for $ 1.25 and we were fine for the 3 nights we were there.
Our campsite had a good-​sized picnic table and fire ring with grate on one side. No need to bring a camp stove. We brought a pan and were able to cook hot dogs and hamburgers just fine.
The
website says that bears frequent the area but there are no bear-​proof food lockers. I called the local ranger and they told us there hasn’t been a bear sighting this season and that we would be ok leaving our food in our cars. Helpful tip: don’t leave food out on the picnic table since little critters will tear through bags and eat anything that’s out.
The campsites are not super close to each other but we got unlucky and had a noisy family camp next to us the next day. Voices seem to carry in this site

My fiancé, our godson, me and our couple friends (with almost 2 years baby) had decided to go camping together. So we came up with camping close to Bass Lake as much as possible. While we were looking for the campground, Chilkoot was still available so we booked.
First, Chilkoot campground is about 3 miles away from Bass Lake. Activities here include motorized and non-​motorized boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, sailing and water skiing at the Lake. We already reseved before we got there but when we got there, It seems like if any spot open, you can take it. So we got the campsite #5 which we though it will be enough room for 2 cars, and 3 tents for everyone. While we were setting our tents, the staff showed up and we told him that we had the reservation and he reserved this spot for us. After we took care everything, we looked around the camp. We noticed that this place has campfire rings, firewood vendor, pet allowed (saw some dogs there), picnic area, vault toilets but no shower.
Everything was good, except there were a lots of Bees and some mosquitos but Bees were the most annoying to us, especially during cooking and eating. Other than that we were fine.
