Sabrina Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Sites at Sabrina Campground run $14 to $28 per night and operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early matters, especially on weekends. The campground sits within Inyo National Forest along the road to Lake Sabrina, with a creek running behind the sites and Aspen trees providing cover. A campground host is on-site, firewood is available for purchase, and there is no store, so campers should stock up in Bishop before heading up.

Water access is a consistent theme across reviews. Lake Sabrina is a short walk from camp, and North Lake Campground lies about 1.3 miles northwest for those who want to compare options in the area. Fishing, hiking to glacier lakes, and wildlife watching draw repeat visitors. Reviewers have spotted deer and bear moving through the campsites, which makes proper food storage in the provided bear boxes essential, not optional.

Cell service is absent here. That detail works in some campers' favor and against others, so plan accordingly. A few sites sit directly along the road beneath telephone lines, but most are set back with more privacy. Restrooms are noted as consistently clean, and the campground is ADA accessible. C N. describes it as "the closest to Lake Sabrina without the feel of tourism," which captures the low-key character of the place well. The season runs May through September, and fall visits can bring snow at night, so bring layers even in early October.

Many campers appreciated the well-maintained sites in a scenic creek-side setting with clean facilities and helpful hosts. A few reviews mentioned some sites located along the road, and restroom distance varies by site location.

Nice spot

This campground is in a great location near Lake Sabrina and the surrounding trails. There is a creek that runs behind the camp and the fall leaves were beautiful. Some of the sites are right along the road underneath some telephone lines but the majority are beautiful and quite private. Unfortunately no campfires allowed this time of year but that goes for almost all campgrounds in the region.

BEAUTIFUL

Great Experience! I have been coming here every year, so far. This time around I was fortunate enough to see a Buck, multiple Doe, and a Bear. They get extremely close, and roam around your campsite so keep food and scented items in your Bear Box and you won’t have trouble. Keep your distance and don’t feed the wildlife! Great Campground, very close walk to Lake Sabrina. Nice Creek, Great Mountain Views.
