Forest Order - Recreation Sites, Roads, and Trails

About
Rock Creek Campground occupies a large sandy flat shaded by oaks, pines, and cedars in the Sierra National Forest. The 24-site campground is divided into three distinct sections, with Rock Creek flowing through the center. One section sits near the access road while the other two are reached via a bridge crossing the creek. The largest section on the far side provides closest access to the popular swimming holes and natural rock water slide. The campground offers vault toilets and each site has a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Parking spurs are a mix of paved and dirt surfaces. The maximum vehicle length is 30 feet, and stays are limited to 14 days. Pets are allowed with a maximum of two per site. Located near Mammoth Pool Reservoir and the Ansel Adams Wilderness, the area offers excellent recreational opportunities including fishing, boating, swimming, and hiking. The campground sits along the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, an 83-mile route showcasing some of the Sierra National Forest's most dramatic landscapes.
Directions
From Fresno, take Highway 41 north. Turn right onto Road 200 and travel east through North Fork. Continue on Minarets Road (Forest Road 81) for 22 miles to the campground.
