Whiskers is a Forest Service campground in the Bass Lake Ranger District of Sierra National Forest in California. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site is a simple base for overnight stays in this corner of the Sierra. Vault toilets are the only facility listed, and a fee is charged for use. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from June through September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 73 to 80°F and only one or two wet days a month. Winter is cold, with typical January highs near 45°F and lows around 27°F. Sand Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about a mile away. Gaggs Camp and Browns Trail are both about 2.3 miles off, and the Corduroy climbing area is roughly 3.1 miles away.
