This area provides excellent proximity to Mono Lake, the Eastern Sierra, and Tioga Pass for exploring Yosemite's high country. The campground operates first-come, first-served with no advance reservations available. Each site includes a bear-proof food storage locker, which must be used as this is active bear habitat. Vault toilets are provided. Maximum occupancy is 6 people and 2 vehicles per site, with quiet hours enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on leash. This is a seasonal campground that closes during winter months due to snow. Opening dates vary depending on snowpack and conditions. The campground sees heavy usage during summer season.
