Dorabelle Campground - Sierra National Forest
The campground was very nice, walking distance to the lake, nice size lots with extra space to play games, etc. Beautiful trees and scenery, many acitivies to do, hiking, bike riding, swimming, horse back riding among other things. The only disadvantage is there are no showers, we had to go to the next camp ground, Camp Edision to shower for a small fee but other than that it was great, also the staff is extra friendly and very helpful....

Millerton Lake State Recreation Area
16 miles away
I agree that Millerton is a wonderful place but the ''summer temps'' are typically close to a hundred.  Not 80, so be prepared and I wouldn't say it ''gets lots of rain.''...madera side camp ground by boat launch...

Sierra Summit
47 miles away
Sierra Summit is located in the Sierra National Forest, just 65 miles northeast of Fresno at Huntington Lake. The resort offers over 1600 feet of vertical serviced by seven chairlifts and 4 surface lifts with terrain to suit all ability levels. There is slopeside lodging at the Sierra Summit Inn with a full service rental and repair shop, sports shop and snowsports school. Sierra Summit has invested heavily in snow making allowing us to offer consistent snow coverage on most runs all winter long. Our snowmaking also allows for an earlier season opening as well as allowing skiing and riding well into April during most seasons. The resort continues to provide the best winter experience at a tremendous value with money-saving options such as the Stay and Play lodging special, $20 high school Sundays, a Learn to Ski and Snowboard Guarantee and a spring season pass special. Visit www.sierrasummit.com for details....

Badger Pass
50 miles away
Badger Pass is the perfect place to learn to ski or snowboard. It has a really long bunny slope, and all the other trails are pretty easy too. The problem is that once you know how to ski without a V-shape thingy the place has little to offer. The staff is very friendly though....

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park
59 miles away
Kings Canyon has this great cave you can go into with all kinds of cool formations....

Dodge Ridge
81 miles away
Dodge Ridge is a great place for families and beginner skiers! You can't lose your kids like you can at the bigger resorts. They have a great all-day ski school program. They recently put in a new lodge, now all they need is some snow-making equipment....Dodge Ridge takes great pride in their reputation as a family-friendly destination and the new spacious Family Lodge that opened last season was designed with your family in mind. Inside, you will find an expanded Children's Snowsports Center, full service Ticketing & Guest Services Center, fully-equipped day-use locker rooms, and a cozy bistro. Guests will also enjoy our newly remodeled rental center. The rental center features improved guest flow, which makes renting your equipment quick, easy, and will have you on the slopes in minutes. With an improved rental center comes new top-of-the-line rental equipment from Elan, Dalbello, and Rossignol. To further enhance your tree skiing experience, Dodge Ridge spent the summer removing boulders, stumps, and scrub brush from some of our featured runs. Parking at Dodge Ridge has been improved as well by repaving and expanding our preferred parking lot with room for more than 100 vehicles....
