Bogard is a US Forest Service campground in California, about 5 miles from the town of Clear Creek. It is a simple site with vault toilets and no fees required for use. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Chester weather station show July highs around 86°F with lows near 48°F, and only about two wet days that month. That station sits roughly 840 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at Bogard run cooler. Several other spots lie within a short drive. Star Lake and the Lassen Trail are both about 4 to 5 miles away, and Hamilton Branch offers canoeing at a similar distance. Echo Lake Camping Area is about 6 miles off.
