Woods Lake is located in Alpine County approx. 2 easy miles south of Hwy. 88. There are campsites at the lake that are on a first come basis. The cost is $22 per night. There is a $10 day use fee which you will put in a supplied envelope and insert at the pay station. Bring the exact change. There is lakeside parking for those who arrive early. Drive past the camping area to the lake.
If you are looking for lodging in the area, Wylder Hotel, formerly Sorensen's Resort, would be the closest. There are also a couple of motels in Markleeville.
Bring a lunch, snacks, and beverages.
