About
Aspen Group Campground is a secluded group camping area in Rock Creek Canyon within Inyo National Forest, positioned at 8,100 feet elevation between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, California. The campground sits in a stand of aspen trees adjacent to Rock Creek, which originates in the John Muir Wilderness and runs 22 miles through the canyon. Views extend to massive peaks to the west and steep surrounding canyons. The single group site accommodates up to 25 guests with a maximum of five trailers or RVs permitted. Amenities include flush toilets, potable drinking water, picnic tables, and food storage lockers. There are no electrical hookups. The primitive setting provides excellent opportunities for trout fishing in Rock Creek, hiking to high-elevation alpine lakes, mountain biking, photography, and wildlife viewing. Black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine marten, and marmot inhabit the area. Reservations are available through Recreation.gov up to 12 months in advance. Quiet hours are enforced from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., with a maximum 14-day stay limit. Firewood must be purchased locally, and seasonal fire restrictions may apply. A commercial pack station and nearby resorts with general stores, restaurants, and pay showers are in close proximity.
