Grandview Campground is nestled in low hills covered with Pinyon and Juniper. A large open area in the middle of the campground gives a truly grand view of the night sky. The combination of 8,600 foot elevation and no intrusive city lights make this a popular site for star gazers and astronomy groups. Campers are asked to minimize their use of generators and lights so everyone in camp can enjoy a peaceful night of stargazing. Grandview is also the nearest campground to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, just 5 miles to Schulman Grove. The campground has 23 sites spaced on two loop roads. Most sites are flat and sandy with ample shade. Each site has a table, fire ring, and parking for one or two vehicles. Firewood sources are limited. Do not collect wood from live or standing trees.
Pleasant Valley Campground provides year-round fishing in the Owens River and the Diaz Lake Campground offers an 80-acre lake for fishing and water sport recreation. Fishing license is required. Shore fishing is allowed all year round.
$14 / night
This beautiful marsh also promises excellent birding and wildlife spotting opportunities. Despite its name, actual Fish Lake Valley Hot Springs fishing is fairly restrictive, due to being a sensitive region and prime habitat for the critically endangered Fish Lake Valley tui chub. Keep your eyes peeled for large schools of goldfish found within the warm ponds year-round. Because this natural oasis is found in the middle of high-desert landscape without other water sources for miles, an abundance of wildlife is drawn to the spring as a watering hole.
The Fish Lake Hot Springs are a free public resource. Before you hit the road, brush up on Hot Springs Etiquette and be sure to avoid camping within 100 feet of the hot spring. Be respectful of the local wildlife residents, too, and leave them plenty of space.

This is our 3rd time staying here and we love it every time. There were only a few other campers here when we stayed the week before Christmas and there were plenty of spots open. Even when it’s busy, it seems like you can always find something. We love it here. So peaceful and absolutely quiet. Lots of rock climbers come in for the day and leave in the afternoon.
Something we hadn’t noticed before were all the goatheads, everywhere. Watch your dog’s paws.
Decent cell reception for ATT and Verizon, not great, but usable. Easy drive to Bishop for supplies, and the free dump & water fill at the Speedway at the other end of town is really nice.
The road in is fairly washboarded, but manageable. The road along the back side of the stone “wall” has gotten worse since we were here last. Parts of it are really rutted and washed out. Hopefully they are fixed at some point, not sure I’d feel comfortable driving our class c on it as it is now. Luckily there are plenty of spots out off the main road so we didn’t need to drive down that road this time.
Saw the rangers go by a couple of times during our 2 night stay here. One stopped and took notes and took a picture of our rig- glad to see that they’re tracking people and enforcing the 14 day limit!
Beautiful waterfront spots adjacent to Bishop creek, toilets, showers, fish cleaning station and these days most importantly WIFi especially if going with teenagers. Everything you need to have an enjoyable experience, even with teenagers.
Great spot. There were quite a few people out but it was also labor day weekend, I still had no issue finding a spot and there were more sites available. Amazing stars and great hot spring.
The campground was big yet still quite. We came up on a Thursday and got a first come spot. There are plenty of restrooms and water faucets throughout the campground to fill up.
Most of the camp sites seemed pretty uneven so come prepared.
No wildlife sitings during our stay
This gem in Goldfield surpassed my expectations. Clean, accessible bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, super supportive host, and extra amenities- like bikes to use while in town. We made good use of the kitchen and team dining table while there. The privacy of the spot next to the assay office was appreciated- and the grounds were quiet.
I'm looking forward to our return visit!
Most sites here looked to be closed off from eachother, and fairly private but was unpleasantly surprised to find that I had reserved one of the least private sites available (48)
The campground was quiet and reached below freezing temperatures each evening but hit 80-85 by peak sun.
The bathrooms were well stocked and clean, and campers were responsible with bear safety.
Every night around 6-7 pm a UPS truck would come tearing through the campground Atleast double the limit and sometimes driving against traffic on a one way road.
We were driving from Las Vegas to Yosemite > It’s a nice spot to spend the night, it’s almost halfway.
The access to the spot was 30min of dusty road but flat enough to drive at 35mph in a campervan.
The parking area is quite big Now one when we arrived near 8.30PM 2 cars when we woke up
It’s nice to be in the middle of nowhere, without any service. A lot of animals near the water (frogs, ducks, birds, cows, fishes)
There is toilets
Sagehen gives you beautiful roads throughout, no 4-wheeler required. Pines tree forest, big lots and 1bar phone reception just up the hill. I take my chair and take care of business.
Easy access to the desert. Did not go very far down the road. Desert views.
We stayed 2 nights, went fishing and had a blast. No electricity or water. Showers are old-you have to buy shower coins for 6 min of hot water. But the river, fishing and view is gorgeous. Most campers have a generator for power but it has to be turned off at 10pm.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kellie’s, Brown's Owen River Campground, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a beautifully maintained campsite. The facilities were spotless, and the scenic views were breathtaking.
Kellie has created a perfect blend of comfort and nature, with plenty of activities for all ages. Whether you're into fishing, hiking, or simply relaxing by the river, there's something for everyone. The attention to detail and the friendly atmosphere made our stay truly memorable.
I highly recommend Brown’s Owen River Campground to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable getaway. We can't wait to return! Five stars all the way!
Stay at Rock Creek Lake Campground in mid June. The drive up from Hwy 395 was easy for a mountain road. There were about 7 campgrounds along this corridor. Rock Creek Lake is at the top. The campground is at about 9,500 feet so be aware for altitude.
Campsites are very close to the water. The walk in tent sites are next to the creek. We were in site 24. This site was located in a small clearing that gets midday sun so it can heat up. Other than site 25, the other sites had better shade coverage. The walk in sites had a dirt pad for your tent, picnic table and bear locker. Your site has assigned parking.
It was about a 50 to 75 yard walk from the parking, water spout, and bathrooms. Camp host was pleasant and had wheelbarrows to help move your stuff. The bathrooms were flush toilets and sink. The sink faucets were variable.
The weather was still quite chilly especially at night. The campground in general was very quiet. We didn't hear loud music or groups over 4 days. There were lots of mosquitos the whole time. Rock Creek Lake Resort just down the road has a store and restaurant serving pie. During the weekend, there are lots of day use visitors but they cleared out in the evening.
I would definitely be back
The park is clean nice area small spots Internet doesn’t work worth a darn
We were planning to stay at Sage Flat campground on the road up from Big Pine, but didn’t like it so we continued on to Big Pine Creek CG and we were so pleased! They had 4 FCFS sites (sites 2-5) and we got site 4. It’s a nice site, but site 5 is really close. Someone took that site on our second night but they were quiet, fortunately. The creek is really pretty and the hike up to the lakes (lakes 1-5) is gorgeous. There are 2 beautiful waterfalls on the hike. The vault toilets were overfull and very stinky. There is a camp store at Glacier Point Lodge just a short walk up the road from the campground. You can get a 5 minute shower there for $7. No cell service but at the lodge you can get 24 hours of WiFi for $10. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed it.
We loved this place! It’s a bit difficult to get to (about 25 miles going up 4,000 feet, with a small part of the road one lane), but so worth it. There are about 24 sites. Some are closer together and others offer more distance from other campers. Great views of the Sierra at the western end of the campground loop. There’s an old mining road that goes up to the ridge overlooking the Sierra. It is so quiet and peaceful here and the night skies and sunsets are beautiful. The vault toilets were clean and well stocked with TP. The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest visitor center and trails through the ancient groves are only 5 miles up the road from the campground and are a must-see. Such a special place.
We intended to stay here, but most of the sites have zero shade and no trees. There are a few along the creek but they were all occupied.
There were only about two spots before you hit a boulder in the middle of the path and the two paths were taken up by some trailers that look like they’ve been there a long while
Roads were open as of 5/23. A handful of spots with rock fire pits. Not too much noise and lots of stars
Driving through and saw the campground. Turned around and decided to stay. Pretty grounds with a lot of trees and either views of the golf course or mountains and cows grazing. Very nice staff. I would definitely stay here again. Bathrooms very clean. They take care of the place.
September is the best time to visit! The mosquitoes are none existent.. Beware of the bears we had one hit our camp 3 times one night and he hit all the other campsites the same night! The campground is quiet and peaceful all the time. Don’t forget your fishing poles and kayaks, lake Sabrina and South Lake are full and the fish are biting. You could catch a big one out in your kayak, shore fishing has all the little ones.
This is a pretty wild place so it needs to be renovated for more development, so I can more easily access tunnel rush.
We didn’t want to take our camper and trailer combo down the side road to the hot springs but it was only a short bike ride. We camped in a wide spot on the road, but only 2 cars went by. It was late March and we woke up to snow. There are many nooks to camp in, but some of the side roads are narrow and rutted.
I pulled in here for a quick overnight stay and ended up staying 3 nights. It was so quiet and folks in other spots were quiet as well. It got busy on a Saturday night with folks coming in but but majority of them left the next morning early and the camp got almost empty again. Clean restrooms, bring your own water (none there) camps are private and you are pretty well hidden by pinions. It does get breezy up there and the pinions make for good wind break.
This campground is a minimal noise site and is noted around camp. The skies at night are amazing! Not too far from main trails of the White Pine Bristlecone forest. Lots of other places to explore.
No cell service, pack out your own trash (no bins), no water spigots (bring your own) there was no fee when I was there but may have changed. Ranger drives through once a day, pretty nice folk they are. Chat with them and they can give ya the heads up and places to adventure to in the area.
We were on our way to Yosemite at night and had to stop because of a winter storm that shut down the whole highway. We ended up checking into Highland RV Park after hours, which was super easy to do!
They have a whole after hours check in system that works great.
Sites are super clean, paved, and extremely level.
Full hookups! 30/50 amp
Staff are friendly and kind!
We woke up to a beautiful 360degree Mountain View!
They have a fish wash station which is a nice touch.
Super clean bathrooms but we couldn’t get the code until the next morning because of checking in after hours (heads up if you’re last minute and need a shower)
Full 5G AT&T service!
Only reason I didn’t 5 star is because I think the price is a little steep at $50 per night especially considering the lack of amenities like a pool or tennis courts or anything like that.
Would definitely stay again in a pinch though!
$40 for site with power and water, $35 without. $10 hot spring/pool entry per a person for camping guests. $2 per a person for 6 minute showers. Depending on how bad you need a shower there are showers in the pool area for a quick rinse before and after using the pool so you can save your $2. I would recommend the pools, they are awesome. Camp sites are pretty close together but all places seem to be around here.
Such a great spot and close to a lot of the local hiking. Nice and flat areas for van parking. Some occasional noise from the road but not bothersome at all. Spots closer to the creek create a nice white noise. Beautiful view of the mountains in the morning. Will definitely be back here again.
This is a must stop on the way to mammoth lakes. big, open, former river bed i assume. Probably not safe during rainy seasons.
