In that same general area (Sierra National Forest/western Sierra), there are also campsites at Courtright, Wishon, Mammoth Pool, and Pine Flat Reservoirs, Edison, Florence, Huntington, and Bass Lakes, as well as Dinkey Creek and some sites along the Kings and San Joaquin Rivers. This area has some very popular destinations, such as Bass Lake and Dinkey Creek, which can become very crowded during peak season. Some of the other places don't get nearly as crowded. Check out the Sierra National Forest on-line, or pick up a Sierra National Forest map from the USFS, to find more information about the region.
There are quite a few 4WD trails in the area, including the famous (and relatively difficult) Dusy-Ershim trail. Some of the others are the Swamp Lakes loop, Coyote Lake, and the previously mentioned Bald Mountain. I've done some, but not all, of these trails. Again, USFS maps and on-line resources are great for learning about the area, as well as learning about the various trails in the area.
