Shaded by cedar and pine trees, Lower Chiquito Campground is a small campground that offers campsites along Chiquito Creek. Each site has a table, grill and fire ring and the campground provides vault toilets. Closest service is Wagner's Store.
From Fresno take Hwy 41 north to Road 200. Turn right and travel east to North Fork. Continue through North Fork on the Minarets Road (Forest Road 81), and travel 35.3 miles to Road 6S71, turn right and travel 2.8 miles to Road 6S01. Turn right on Road 6S01 and travel 8/10 mile to campground.
Very peaceful and beautiful. Wide open spaces with a lot of shade and a lovely little river.
( Saw a comment about there being trash everywhere but that irrelevant because we are all adults who can and should be cleaning up after ourselves and that's not the campgrounds fault is someone was inconsiderate and didn't do that. )
Nice small campground for people looking for a night or two away from the city. It is technically closed due to a forest order for the dead trees even through really isn't any in this campground, but we spent the night here anyways right on the river, it is beautiful. There is a pit toilet bathroom, but since the campground is closed it is not being serviced so bring a camping toilet.
A beautiful and primitive Sierra camping experience. No running water, showers or real restrooms, but the amazing Chiquito Creek is ideal for swimming and fishing. Unfortunately, over the past few years, some visitors have been leaving lots of trash, and sometimes large groups show up and can be noisy, hence only 4 stars. Go during the week and/or early in the season for the best experience.
Lower chiquito is great! We go every summer with our family & close friends! It's so peaceful & relaxing 🙏❤️😊
