This campground was open when convict lake and local rv parks were at maximum capacity. It’s a short drive to near by attractions, and a good base camp to enjoy mammoth lake and near by trails. 

BLM- Low Cost Campground

Up on the foothills, this expansive campground is in a nice, peaceful setting.  Exposed to the elements, it was quite windy with no shade the 2 days we stayed there, except for the nice little shelters on each site.  Most of the sites are by reservation only but one loop is first-come.  Wonderful hike up McGee Creek just 2 miles up the road.

Wide open and peaceful

Super nice and clean. Flush toilet and running water.
