"With amazing views of the Sierra Nevadas, and lots of exploration potential in the Inyos, this is a wonderfully situated campground."
"Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is close by or take a drive down to the old mining area, but I would suggest a four wheel drive, mountain bike or good hiking shoes drive for this."
"We were driving from Las Vegas to Yosemite > It’s a nice spot to spend the night, it’s almost halfway."
"Plenty of parking right next to the springs, but if you want a little more space you can take a dirt path right off of that parking lot up the hill a ways and have plenty of privacy."
"Watch your dog’s paws.
Decent cell reception for ATT and Verizon, not great, but usable."

spaced apart to where it feels like you’re the only one in the area."
$14 / night
"There is Pleasant Valley Campground, and if you cross the street and drive a little bit in you can get to Pleasant Valley Pit. This place has no shade, no trees, but amazing view of the Sierras."
"There is an awesome little wild trout section where you can get a hold of the colors of the sierras, otherwise the reservoir is a steep sided sketchy lake. Don't bring your dog."
$41 - $45 / night

RangerI've passed through Goldfield Nevada several times and always wanted to stay long enough to explore it more. In October 2020 I did just that. I wasn't sure exactly when I'd get there so I didn't make a reservation ahead of time but when I got near Goldfield I called around and they had a space available. (I called a few campgrounds and I can't remember if others were full or if this one had the best rates. I think I paid $25/night for three nights. Their rates have increased to $35/night in January 2021 (I called to confirm this.) They do offer lower weekly rates. People were friendly.
It's typical RV park. i.e. You're parked too close to your neighbors. My space was next to the "dog park" which was maybe a 20' x 10' fenced area so I didn't have another RV on that side. That made me happy. Few people actually used the dog park while I was there, They had full hookups. There may have been picnic tables I don't remember. They had showers and a restroom. I liked the location because I could walk just about everywhere. I didn't want to unhitch my trailer for such a short stay.
Overall it was a good stay. I prefer to camp BLM lands because you can spread out and there's a lot of space between you and other campers. I have solar, a composting toilet and running water on board so I'm pretty much self contained off-grid for a week or two. I'd like to explore the nearby BLM camping next time. The disadvantage would be that you'd have to unhitch to go explore the town.
Forgot something VERY important. You have to visit the DInky Diner. Really good food. super friendly. The owner, Karie, has a story about how she started the diner. Check out the photos.
TravelerSmall campground with 5 sites, fires and pets are allowed. You get a lot of day hikers and backpackers coming through, but it is fairly quiet and very friendly. Plenty of hiking trails! Campsites are also fairly large.
ScoutThis is a great little campground at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Each campsite has a table, BBQ and located next to Baker Creek. There is also a lovely pond for fishing and lots of shade. Cost is $14 per night.
GuideWith amazing views of the Sierra Nevadas, and lots of exploration potential in the Inyos, this is a wonderfully situated campground. The campground itself is nice, with your standard vault toilet, and great sites! There are lots of trees for shelter, which is handy as it did get a little windy.
ScoutMay 2023- We happened upon this place through "the dyrt" and what a hidden jewel! We camped right next to the stream and stayed one night and it was peaceful and far away from any highway. The road becomes dirt and while bumpy in places, our class B van with low clearance did fine going slow. The creek was 40 feet from our spot, running well (Spring of 2023 after record snowfall) and the dog loved playing it it. We arrived 1pm and there was just one other vehicle. By evening there were about 7 more vehicles but they dispersed. We camped at the first turn off where you'll see the Forest Service Sign. You can continue further on the bumpy road and there are other sites along the way, which I can't speak about as we did not go there. BE CAREFUL as there are two camps with same name. The one we stayed at is just west of Bishop. There is another "Mc Gee Creek Forest Service Campground" west of Lake Crowley which looks great, but I've not been there.
RangerSection of the county fairgrounds is a dedicated RV park. Has full hookup sites as well as no hookup sites. Park is clean & well run but spaces are small and tight. Pretty much a gravel lot. Level. One side has mostly shade, the other full sun. Showers and bathrooms are very clean. Fires in your own enclosed metal ring/container only.
The off-hours campground host is super serious and frequently asked to see our tag/receipt. YOU JUST CHECKED AN HOUR AGO 😤 Unnecessary and demeaning signs placed throughout just left a bad taste in our mouth (see photo).
No on-site laundry but the park is centrally located so is close to everything in Bishop.
Lots to do nearby including white mountains, Sierra Nevada, Bristlecone Pine forest in the Inyo NF. Easy walk to downtown coffee shops, pubs, restaurants & shops.
Would probably not stay again what with the militant host and unnecessary reminders that no, my mother indeed does not work here.
ScoutThe site was in a great spot in the middle of a nice, busy town filled with people you can tell live outdoors. Campsite was easy enough to get to. We weren’t at a drive-in spot, but the walk-in wasn’t too bad. Plenty of wildlife visit the campgrounds, so definitely be sure to use the bear boxes.
While it’s a mostly safe place to camp, the campgrounds are pretty much open and don’t necessarily have a gate to go through, so it’d be best to keep your valuables locked up and hidden or better yet, leave them home or on your person. We’ve seen one sketch person obviously on drugs walking the campgrounds one day.
The campgrounds are a short drive/bike ride from the hustle and bustle of the tiny town & an even shorter distance from Sherwin Lake trailhead (absolutely recommended).
The trail is great for off-leashing your dogs assuming they’re good with other dogs/people. The trail itself can get a bit of traffic, but it’s not terrible. The 2 mile hike up is worth it once you see the lake, the fish, & the meadow just across it!
Definitely worth the trip from San Jose!
ScoutWe parked next to the Stargazing Park which is surrounded by a cyclone fence, perfect for our dog. There was one other rig here but they parked far away and up the hill. Warning, pay attention to the speed zones, we were pulled over by the sheriff coming into town, he said we were doing 50 in a 35 zone but in actually we were slowing down, so slow down before you hit the speed zone signs.
