Grays Meadows Campground

Grays Meadows Campground offers 52 campsites (upper and lower loops) at 6,100 feet elevation along Independence Creek in the eastern Sierra, with vault toilets, potable water, and bear-proof food lockers available late April through mid-October.

The campground provides excellent access for anglers, with Independence Creek regularly stocked with trophy-size rainbow trout and an early fishing season starting the first weekend in March, plus nearby hiking trails including the demanding Shepherd Pass Trail into the John Muir Wilderness.

Reservations are available through Recreation. gov at $34/night, with sites accommodating RVs and trailers up to 40 feet, located just 6 miles west of Independence via paved Onion Valley Road.
