About
Taylor Canyon Campground provides rustic, backcountry-style camping on Bureau of Land Management and Inyo National Forest land northeast of Mono Lake. The 6 dispersed sites are accessed via Adobe Ranch Road, an unpaved route off Highway 120 East. At 7,354 feet elevation, the area offers striking views of the Glass Mountain volcanic field and the Mono Basin. This is primitive camping with minimal development. Each site has a picnic table, and the campground has vault toilets. There is no potable water, so campers must bring adequate supplies. No trash service is provided, and campers are expected to pack out all garbage. The terrain is open and exposed with little shade, so sun protection is advisable. The campground operates seasonally, typically opening after snowmelt in late spring and closing with the first significant winter weather. All sites are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. The nearest services are in Lee Vining, approximately 15 miles away.
Directions
From Lee Vining, head east on Highway 120 (Benton Crossing Road). Turn north onto Adobe Ranch Road (unpaved) and follow it to Taylor Canyon Road. The campground is located along Taylor Canyon Road in an undeveloped area.
