About
National Forest
Inyo National Forest
North Lake Campground is situated among the trees and adjacent to the north fork of Bishop Creek. It is a lovely campground - all 11 campsites have shade among the tall Jeffery and Lodgepole pines. Three of the sites are very short walk-in's. The remainder have small parking spots at the sites. The road to North Lke is partially paved and partially gravel and is narrow and winding. Trailers and RVs are prohibited. In the spring and early summer, mosquitoes can be an annoyance.

Simple Get Away
Forested small campground perfect for relaxing, fishing and hiking. After a few hours of fishing in nearby North Lake or hiking in the area you return to an uncrowded, quiet, pretty campground for the night. Wouldn't recommend a long term stay here but a few nights is great.
Great, quiet campground!
Small 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.
Excellent place to get away if you can stomach the drive
This is a first come first serve campground. It’s in the mountains above Bishop. The final road to the campsite is extremely narrow and along the edge of a mountain. If you can deal with the treatorous drive it’s worth the anxiety you‘ll experience getting there. The sites have enough space and trees between them that you’re afforded some privacy. There is good fishing a short walk or even shorter car ride away. We camped there Labor Day weekend and enjoyed the escape from the heat the mountains provided. Even if it’s 100 in Bishop bring a jacket and a warm sleeping bag. It will get cold at night and even during the day. We had fun camping here and will definitely return.
