Within Inyo National Forest, Mountain Glen Campground provides five walk-in tent sites along Bishop Creek. The Forest Service manages this first-come, first-served campground from May through September at $25 per night.
Sites require a short walk from the South Lake Road, with sites 1 and 5 positioned about 15 yards from parking and surrounded by trees for privacy. Bishop Creek flows directly past the campsites, offering fishing opportunities. The campground lacks cell service and provides access to John Muir Wilderness trailheads. Nearby Parcher's Resort offers shower facilities for $8. The setting works well for campers seeking creek access and wilderness hiking without crowds.
