Overview
Green Creek Group Campground is located about 12 miles from Bridgeport, California, at an elevation of 7,500 feet. Visitors enjoy fishing on Green Creek and hiking the Green Creek Trail.
Recreation
Green Creek offers rainbow trout fishing and can be easily accessed from within the campground. Green Creek Trail, for hiking and horseback riding, can be accessed just outside the campground entrance. It leads to Green Lake and further on to East Lake. Rugged peaks surround both large lakes, where hikers are rewarded with good backcountry fishing and spectacular scenery.
Facilities
This primitive campground contains two group sites that can accommodate 25 and 30 people, with large picnic tables, campfire circles, grills and food storage lockers. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided. Roads and parking spurs are dirt.
Natural Features
The campground is tucked between Green Creek and a rocky outcropping, among a forest of towering Jeffrey pines, which offer partial shade. Aspens, juniper, sagebrush and summer wildflowers dot the landscape.

ScoutPrivate and perfect environment
The group campsite was spacious, shaded, and room for many tents to spread out and apart. There were several picnic tables and one nearby vault toilet. The Green Creek was adjacent with nice rushing water. Be mindful to bring plenty of water. The website indicates availability of potable water but there hasn’t been any since 2020. The drive back in to town is long and mostly on unpaved roads. The camp host was friendly and helpful. He placed 2 gallons of nonpotable water at each site in the event of campfire problems.
