Gaggs Camp is a Forest Service campground in California's Sierra National Forest, within the Bass Lake Ranger District. It is a simple, low-service site with vault toilets, and a fee is charged for use. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 80°F with lows near 50°F and only about one wet day a month, while winter brings highs in the mid-40s and lows around 27°F. That station sits about 750 feet below the camp, so temperatures at the site run a little cooler. Sleeper Trail and Shuteye Lookout Trail are both hikes within about a mile and a half. Sand Creek offers canoeing just over a mile away. For more camping, Whiskers lies about 2.3 miles off.
