Sawmill Walk-in Campground

Sawmill Walk-in Campground is a high-elevation (9,800 ft) backcountry campsite in the Inyo National Forest near the Hoover Wilderness, requiring a quarter-mile walk from the parking area to access 12 campsites with tables, fire rings, and bear boxes.

Lee Vining Creek provides the only water source (no piped water available), making it suitable for backpack-style camping with nearby day-use hiking opportunities.

The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis at $25 per night with 15 overnight parking spaces available at the entrance.
