  Forks Campground (Inyo) — Inyo National Forest

  Beautiful site

  The tent camping sites were pretty small. Beautiful, but our site was pretty far away from the bathroom, water, and creek.

  Crab Cooker Hotsprings - Dispersed Camping

  Private hotspring with mountain views

  4x4 or high clearance coming in. Long dirt road with dips and rocks. Water only flowing in winter months. Lots of tent camping spots along with 8 back in spots. Really amazing views 360 degrees. No service with Verizon.

  Sage Flat Campground

  Welcoming.

  Great sites for small RV’s or tent camping. Very funny and welcoming camp host David Mac. Would recommend this camp to anyone looking to get away from the crowds you’ll find further north in the eastern sierras.

  First come first serve.

  Golden Pine RV Park

  Nice Campground

  Owned and operated by a family. Great customer service and always willing to help! Over 44 campsites between RV and tent sites. Very small and close together. FHU, quiet and close to Towns of Murphy for wine tasting and dining, Columbia, Angels Camp and other State Parks for camping. Paid showers $.25, pool and event center to rent.

  Convict Lake Campground

  No shade but one of our faves

  We usually stay in the Mammoth Lakes area but changed it up and we are so happy we did. The tent sites are small with little to no shade but the beauty of Convict Lake was worth it. The only wildlife we dealt with were deer which is much better than bears (so many in Mammoth).

  We enjoyed paddle boarding, fishing, and hiking around the lake.

  East Fork Campground – Inyo National Forest (CA)

  Nice campground, not great site

  East Fork Campground is a large campground in the Rock Creek area down below the road. It looked like the best sites were in the trees along the creek.

  Our site, #27, was in some low aspen trees and was not set up well for tent camping. The site with the tent pad, picnic table and bear locker required stepping down on some rocks from the parking area. The tent pad was small and sloped, our four person tent was wedged into the area. The people in the site behind ours has set up there tent right next our only place to fit a tent.

  The bathrooms were near by and very clean.

  Brown's Millpond Campground

  Very nice campground.

  This campground is clean and quiet. There are spaces for travel trailers and motor homes with or without electricity and water and there are spaces for tent camping as well. The restrooms are clean and have showers,a small stream runs through the campground and fires are allowed. The campground is near a county park with a small lake . This is a great home base to explore the area, Toms place,Rock creek,Convict Lake, Mammoth and the June Lake loop are within 45 min. Definitely worth checking out we stay two times a year and we love it.

  Sherwin Creek

  Campground that’s near town, but you can’t tell that it is!

  This campground is just outside the main part of Mammoth Lakes, CA. You have to go on a paved then gravel road to get there. It is secluded, and you would never know that you are 5 mins. away from a Vons or all the hubbub of the town. There is a cute Creek, Sherwin Creek, that runs past the whole camp. You can here is all night, which my husband and I liked. The sites are clean and spacious. There are walk-in tent sites and RV sites. There are bear boxes at every site, and must be used!

  We had a big thunderstorm come through, and it wasn’t that bad because the campground is protected by hills along side it.

  We absolutely loved it at Sherwin Creek, and are looking to go back next summer!

  Convict Lake Campground

  Little Slice of Fishing Heaven

  My husband and I have been camping at Convict Lake for many years. He and his family have gone to opening day of fishing in the freezing cold for MANY years. Tucked away in the mountains of the Inyo National Forest it is just a few skips North of Bishop and an easy drive up to Mammoth from here. Choosing the best site takes some know-how and I cant give you my sweet spots just yet however I will share some details about fishing here on this little lake . It is decent fishing from almost any point- shore or from small boat. I have caught several fish myself- even out-fishing my husband on our honeymoon. The little store is great- friendly people. The little restaurant is fine- though there are places a short distance away as well.

  While we have either tent-camped or had a motorhome this campground offers various rental cabins, inexpensive showers that are decent (comparatively speaking). Good hiking. great hot springs, cold springs, picturesque views, plenty of small museums just south in Bishop (Railroad museum etc) and small casino in the North End of Bishop on the southbound side.

  Its a great little escape- as long as people continue to keep it nice and clean

  Rock Creek Lake Campground

  High Sierra Campground

  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

  Brown’s Town

  Cozy spot on the edge of town

  I stayed 2 nights here Sept 29 & 30, 2020 and I’m glad I did. First off, the price was great which was $28/night throw in a 7 minute hot shower for $2 more(you buy the tokens at the onsite general store) but the cold showers are free. Number 2, Bishop is a nice little town with AMAZING food spots, so you will want a little time to check those out. The staff is friendly all around from check in to grabbing a hot dog and a beer to the hardworking grounds crew. Every tent site has a fire pit, picnic table, and good grass as the grounds crew are watering the sites when not in use. The bathrooms are clean, kept up, and not cramped. The showers are nice and clean too with each shower having it’s own door with lock unlike the showers at the local gym. Right by a golf course and directly off 395 which wasn’t loud during the evening. There are hiking trails about a 30 minute drive away on Pine Creek Rd. They weren’t open when I was there due to the wildfires on the other side of the ridge. Great campground to stay for a couple days to see what Bishop has to offer.

  Grandview Campground

  Beautiful part of the world

  With 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.

  Baker Creek Campground

  Good and primitive

  Most sites have shadow, enough space, a bit uneven and a lot of stones, walk in tent area completely under little trees, at the water. We liked it.

  Baker Creek Campground

  Baker Creek, Big Pine, CA

  This 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.

  French Camp Campground

  Great Site

  Very nice campsite with around 70 sites and three ranger campsites so plenty of help. Went on a rainy day but there was plenty of tree cover and we stayed in our tent briefly.

  Big Pine Creek Campground

  Loved this campground

  We stayed at Big Pine Creek Campground the second weekend of August. Weather was great, not nearly as hot as we'd expected. Arrived at the campgrounds on Saturday in the late afternoon about 2 hours after the check in time with no issues.

  The campground is very well kept. Bathrooms are in good condition, plenty of toilet paper, no horrible smells or messes. The site we stayed in (9) was really unique with a huge stone fireplace in the middle. There is one designated area for tents which we fit one 2 person and one 4 person tent in. A third tent could have gone in the stone area and/or by the parking spot. Not much room for a second car in the site. Only major downside was minimal trees on this particular site for setting up hammocks.

  Everyone was super friendly. The guy who runs the campgrounds invited us over to the main campfire area where they had bbq, karaoke and smores. We came by for some smores and it was a fun time. Oh also there is a small trout pond where a lot of people were fishing during the day so plenty to do on the campgrounds.

  10/10

  Wild Willy’s Hot Springs

  Hot Springs and Dispersed Camping

  Arguably the most popular hot springs in the Mammoth and Lake Crowley area, this BLM managed area sees a lot of traffic, but is well worth a visit! It has a nice maintained gravel road that ends in a large parking lot. Just before the parking lot is a pull out area with fire pits and space for multiple tents. If this is full there is another road that goes past the parking area and a little further on there is another pull out for a tent or two. There are two large hot springs pools that are natural and mostly undeveloped. To get to them you must walk down a wooden walkway and gravel path about 500 yds to the pools from the parking lot.

  Willow Campground

  Nice campground

  Easy to find, with a decent standoff between the campsites. In early August the wind was pretty brutal, so make sure you have a stout tent. The vault restrooms were cleaned pretty regularly.

  Eureka Dunes Primitive Campground — Death Valley National Park

  The back of beyond!

  If you want to get away from it all, this is the place for you. Down another 25+ mile dirt road, at the foot of the dunes, there are a few large parking areas to set up camp and a pit toilet. You must bring everything else with you. I wouldn’t recommend anything larger than a teardrop trailer for camping. Most of the people had roof top tents or set up tents on the ground. It can get very cold here at night so be prepared, we visited in April and the night time temps dropped into the 20’s. There are other campgrounds in Death Valley that can accommodate large RV’s and trailers. There is little or no cellular service in the park and drones are not allowed. Stars were fabulous here.

  Nice little general store.

  Horton Creek Campground — Alabama Hills

  Great views and good camping

  Stayed here overnight when traveling through California headed to Nevada. The site has some beautiful views of the mountains. It was cloudy and getting dark when we got there so didn't see the views until in the morning when we woke up to snow capped peaks. Nice clean camping area and sites are not right on top of each other.

  French Camp Campground

  Great spot

  Good campground with plenty of spots. Mixture of tent, campers and RV's. Small creek runs through the campground on the far side. Flush toilets. Make sure to keep a clean site, or else you'll be having a visit from black bears. Awesome fishing up the road at Rock Creek Lake
