Being at Lake Edison and Vermillion Campground is like being at the top of the world. It’s a rigorous climb up a one lane bumpy road once you travel past the paved road but it’s worth it. The campground is near to the Vermillion Resort (with a restaurant and store )and Edison Lake. Trailheads begin here and hikers can also take a small ferry to the other end if the lake for easy access into the Sierra mountains and many small lakes. The camp sites are gravelly with pine trees with nice lake views .. the lake goes down near Labor Day as it is used for electricity. Don’t expect cell service, or much in the way of comfort amenities.28$ single 48$ double and 10$ each vehicle . Closed in late fall/winter.
