Within Inyo National Forest, Palisade Campground provides established camping with amenities including drinking water and access for RVs up to 65 feet. The US Forest Service manages this campground, which sits near both creek and lake terrain. Big rig accommodations make it accessible for larger recreational vehicles seeking forest camping with water access. Campers can also explore East Fork Campground less than a mile south for an alternative forest setting.
Description
This was formerly a very small family campground that has recently been converted into an "overflow" group camp designed for smaller groups (less than 25) who are not able to reserve the Rock Creek Lake Group site. While not quite as scenic as the Rock Creek Group site, this location is well suited for large family and small organizational group gatherings.
