My all time favorite place to camp. You can't beat camping under the stars, and listening to the creek as you fall asleep.

Bathrooms clean. Potable water. No showers. First come first serve. Pay cash. Firewood at the host across from the camp.

Hidden gem for sure. We have been coming here for years! Camp host is always nice, very clean and the bathrooms are not awful! I am 100% not the camping type but my husband and boys love it so I always tag along. Big Bend is hands down my favorite place to camp.

Awesome campground in a beautiful spot on the creek. Conveniently located near Mono Lake and Yosemite. In the spring the sound of the rushing water in the creek is incredible. In the fall you have the aspen trees turning into a beautiful display of gold leaves. Definitely a great spot to camp for a night or even a week!
