Overview
Overview

Location & Surroundings
Located along the Mammoth Scenic Loop near Bishop, California, this campground sits at an elevation of approximately 7,600 feet.

The location provides easy access to the dramatic vistas of the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, making it an ideal staging point for high-altitude adventures. The area remains cool even during the peak of summer, offering a refreshing climate for campers.
Amenities & Park Features
As a developed Forest Service site, Four Jeffrey focuses on essential outdoor comfort. Each site is equipped with a fire ring and picnic table, perfect for evening campfire meals. While the park is more primitive than a private RV resort, it provides access to vault toilets and potable water spigots throughout the grounds. The terrain is well-suited for smaller RVs and travel trailers, offering a spacious, natural setting that emphasizes simplicity and ease of use for nature lovers.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities just minutes away from the campground. The area is renowned for world-class trout fishing in nearby lakes and streams, as well as an extensive network of hiking trails that lead into the Ansel Adams Wilderness. Visitors can easily access the Mammoth Mountain ski area or explore the fascinating geology of the nearby Devils Postpile National Monument. The region is a true playground for mountain biking, photography, and alpine exploration.
Who This Park Is Best For
Four Jeffrey is best for tent campers and RV owners who prefer a rustic, forest-focused experience over paved sites and full hookups. It is an excellent choice for those who value peace and quiet, stargazing opportunities, and proximity to wilderness trailheads. If you are a traveler looking for an authentic mountain retreat rather than a modern amenity-heavy park, this location provides the perfect balance of accessibility and serene backcountry atmosphere.

Great place, $5 a night and $2.50 with a golden access pass. Vault toilets at multiple spots and very well kept!

Friendly and helpful host. Beautiful location - sites close to the creek have good shade and nice noises, sites closer to the slope have gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. Bathrooms have running water and plumbing, are clean, and do not smell! Potable water stations are frequent.

Beautiful location, very clean and well maintained and it is also close to town. It is however a very popular sight so this is not the place to camp out if you want solitude. You have a very fair amount of space in your campsite but you will run into a lot of people there.
