About

Glass Creek Campground sits at 7,600 feet elevation in a pine forest just west of Highway 395, north of Mammoth Lakes. This large campground features 66 spacious sites that can accommodate RVs and trailers up to 45 feet, making it big rig friendly despite having no hookups. All sites are dry camping with no water or electric service available, so campers must bring their own water and be prepared for dispersed-style camping in a developed setting. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted and no fees required, though donations are accepted. Each site includes a picnic table, fire pit, and bear locker for food storage, as this is active bear country. Vault toilets are provided throughout the campground. A 14-day stay limit, 6-person maximum per site, and 2-vehicle limit per site are enforced. Dogs must be on leash in the campground. Glass Creek Campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding Owens River Headwaters Wilderness area and the unique volcanic features of Obsidian Dome. The location offers convenient access to both Mammoth Lakes and June Lake recreation areas while providing a quieter, more spacious alternative to developed resort campgrounds in the area.
