Reservoir F is a Forest Service campground in the Devils Garden Ranger District of Modoc National Forest in northeastern California, about 11 miles from the town of Canby. The site sits right on the shoreline of the reservoir, with spacious campsites that make it easy to set up close to the water. The camp has vault toilets. No fees are required to use the site, which makes it an accessible base for a lakeside stay. For the most comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 69°F and September highs near 80°F, while July and August climb into the upper 80s and winter lows drop into the low 20s. The Duncan North and Duncan South boating sites are both within about 6 miles, and Reservoir C and Howards Gulch are each roughly 7 to 8 miles away.
