About
Lundy Canyon Campground sits at 7,660 feet elevation in the scenic Eastern Sierra, operated by Mono County under a lease from Southern California Edison since 1961. The 36 single-family campsites are scattered among groves of quaking aspens along Mill Creek, providing a peaceful mountain setting with easy access to Lundy Canyon trails and the Hoover Wilderness. This is a primitive, first-come, first-served campground with no reservations accepted. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring with grate, and bear box for food storage. Pit toilets and trash dumpsters are available, but there is no potable water. Non-potable water spigots fed by spring water are present, but campers should bring adequate drinking water or treat any water collected on-site. The campground accommodates tents and smaller RVs, with most sites suitable for vehicles up to 35 feet. Gravel roads throughout the campground can be rough in places. The $16 nightly fee is collected in cash only at the fee station near the entrance. The remote location and lack of cell service add to the backcountry feel.
Directions
From US-395 in Lee Vining, turn west onto Lundy Lake Road (about 7 miles north of Lee Vining). Follow Lundy Lake Road approximately 5 miles to the campground, located before reaching Lundy Lake.
