Currently open. Operates late May through mid-October, weather and conditions permitting. First-come, first-served only; no reservations accepted.
About
Obsidian Campground provides a peaceful escape in the eastern Sierra, shaded by aspens and pines at elevation near Bridgeport. The campground sits close to Molybdenite Creek and the Little Walker River, both stocked with trout for anglers. Light use makes this an appealing option for campers seeking solitude away from busier developed campgrounds. Several trailheads are accessible from the area. The Molybdenite Creek trail splits south into the Hoover Wilderness and north along Wheeler Creek, connecting to the Little Walker River trail for a loop hike via Burt Canyon trailhead just west of camp. Emma Lake trailhead offers a short but steep climb to Emma Lake beneath Mount Emma. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water or trash service. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings. A free California Campfire Permit from CalFire is required for any campfire, barbecue, or stove use. Dogs are allowed on leash.
Directions
From Highway 395 in Bridgeport, drive approximately 16 miles north to Little Walker Road. Turn left onto Little Walker Road (Forest Service Road 066) and continue approximately 3 miles on unpaved road to the campground.
