Agnew Meadows Campground

About

Agnew Meadows Campground is located at 8,400 feet elevation in the scenic Reds Meadow Valley, surrounded by high Sierra peaks and adjacent to creeks and a small lake. The campground complex includes three distinct areas: a family campground operating on a first-come, first-served basis, a group campground with sites accommodating 10-20 people, and an equestrian campground with horse corrals. The area provides exceptional access to some of the Sierra's most spectacular wilderness. The Ansel Adams Wilderness and Pacific Crest Trail are accessible from nearby trailheads, and Devils Postpile National Monument is just down the road. A pack station offering horseback riding tours and supplies is also nearby. This is an active bear area, and bear-proof food lockers are provided at each site and must be used. The campground is accessed via Reds Meadow Road, a narrow single-lane road requiring a mandatory shuttle bus during peak hours. Due to the high elevation, the area typically doesn't clear of snow until late May or early June.

Directions

Take US 395 to State Highway 203. Head west through the town of Mammoth Lakes. At the 2nd traffic light, turn right onto Minaret Road and continue up the mountain past Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge and Minaret Vista Station. Access requires using the mandatory ESTA shuttle when in operation or paying the Reds Meadow Road access fee.
