About
Lower Virginia Creek Primitive Campground sits at 9,100 feet in a Jeffrey pine forest along Virginia Creek, within the Bridgeport Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The setting is classic Eastern Sierra high country, with easy access to Virginia Lakes and the Hoover Wilderness. This is a minimally developed, no-fee campground suited for self-sufficient campers. Sites have fire rings and bear boxes, and vault toilets are provided. There is no potable water, no trash service, and no hookups. Campers must pack out all garbage and bring their own drinking water. A free California campfire permit from CalFire is required for campfires, barbecues, and portable stoves. The campground can accommodate large trailers and motorhomes, though specific length limits are not published. Dogs are allowed but must remain on leash. The site operates first-come, first-served with no reservations.
Directions
From Bridgeport, head south on US-395 for 13 miles. Turn right onto Virginia Lakes Road and continue 2.4 miles. Turn left onto NFSR 139 to reach the campground.
