About
Obsidian Flat Group Campground provides a secluded getaway in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains at 7,800 feet elevation, surrounded by pine forest and named after a nearby obsidian lava flow. Located just outside Mammoth Lakes, the campground offers one large group site that can accommodate up to 50 people and up to five RVs or 15 vehicles. The campground sits adjacent to Deadman Creek, known for exceptional eastern Sierra trout fishing. Deadman Creek Trail provides direct access to the spectacular Ansel Adams Wilderness for hikers and mountain bikers. The area is also popular with off-road vehicle enthusiasts exploring the surrounding forest and unique geology. Wildlife is abundant in the area, including black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine marten, pika, and numerous fish and bird species. Several lakes are located down the road, and Yosemite National Park makes an excellent day trip. The facility is gated and primitive, requiring campers to bring their own water and practice bear-aware camping techniques.
