Such an awesome campsite. Some reasons why we love it: -beautiful setting next to creek -quick drive to incredible hiking options -short walk from Tom’s place where you can pick up camping items / food -private campsites, each with fire pit, bear box, and table -full cell service We stayed in campsite #81 which was great.

This is my second time camping here, and it never disappoints. The site is always clean, the restrooms are well-stocked (though you need to bring your own hand soap), and the water is always working. Neighbors are respectful and mindful of quiet hours. I've never had issues with bugs, even when camping in late and early summer. Although the site is close to the highway, the noise is minimal—if anything, you'll only hear the nearby creek. It's also a great midpoint between Mammoth and Bishop, where you can explore plenty of outdoor activities. The best part? The stunning stars at night. Also if anyone was concerned about sleeping in their car at “tent only” sites, it’s allowed, for whatever reason some campsites don’t allow it. (This was site 47, site 60 is lovely too!)

We spent four lovely nights at French Camp exploring the plethora of rock climbing in the area. The creek is right behind the grounds and prefect for a soak after exploring. The facilities were really well kept. Our camp host (Steve) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable.

Campsite is beautiful and immersed in trees with a river nearby. Bathrooms are single stall with mirrors, lights, and running water. Ceramic toilets and toilet paper is provided but no soap. They have bear lockers at the campsite. Fire pit with griddle that can’t be removed. They sell firewood here for $9 per bundle. Went for Memorial Day weekend and got a reservation easy about 2 weeks prior when everything was booked elsewhere. This is surprising because this campsite was so nice!! The best part - I had service the whole time! Only a few bars but not a problem for some light Googling to learn about the area

We love this campground for many reasons. Views are amazing. Clear Rock creek flows right beside the site making for lovely white noise from the sound of water flowing down. If you camp here there is a dump station 1/4 mile down towards Tom’s place that is free for campers. Only $8.00 if you’re not camping there. Fill up with clean water too. Tom’s place is close by for last minute purchases n a quirky bar where you’ll meet nicest folks. You can even get phone reception here which is unusual for the area. We’ll keep coming back. Only bad is the sites are at a high angle so therefore you must jack up trailers Tent camping is awesome too. Close to many lakes for fishing kayaking swimming in summer etc.
