Upper Pine Grove Campground

Upper Pine Grove Campground is a small, rustic 8-site first-come, first-served campground at 9,400 feet along Rock Creek in the Eastern Sierra, offering direct access to excellent trout fishing and nearby hiking trails in the John Muir Wilderness.

The campground provides potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, and bear-proof food lockers, with sites accommodating tents and small RVs (max 18 feet), and is located just 1.

25 miles downstream from Rock Creek Lake, which offers paddling opportunities with electric motors only (5 MPH max).

Sites cost $35/night with a 14-day maximum stay; arrive early during summer weekends as the small size and first-come, first-served policy make sites competitive.
