Jerseydale is a Forest Service campground in the Bass Lake Ranger District of Sierra National Forest in California, about 19 miles from Yosemite Park headquarters. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site is set up for overnight stays at a single site, with vault toilets as the only facility. The fee for overnight use is $10 per night. That makes it a straightforward base for a short stay, and the vault toilets are the only amenity on site, so plan accordingly. For the most comfortable conditions, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 70°F in May to 71°F in October, while July and August average highs near 89°F and winter highs sit in the upper 40s. Several trails start close by, including Footman Trail and Windlass Ridge Trail, both about a mile away, and Skelton Creek at roughly 1.7 miles. For a longer trip, Dirt Flat campground is about 8.5 miles off.
