East Fork Campground

The phone number and website on file for this listing trace to Rock Creek Lakes Resort, a family-run high-Sierra lodge at the head of Rock Creek Canyon in the Eastern Sierra, roughly midway between Bishop and Mammoth Lakes. Perched near Rock Creek Lake above 9,000 feet in Inyo National Forest, the resort has been run by the same family since 1979 and sits at the end of a winding nine-mile spur off US Highway 395 that climbs from high desert into granite-walled subalpine terrain. The property's general store, breakfast-and-lunch grill known locally for its pies, rental cabins, and boat and kayak rentals make it a natural basecamp for travelers exploring Rock Creek Canyon. Several first-come Forest Service campgrounds line the same road, and trailheads into the John Muir Wilderness fan out nearby, making the resort a common stop for anyone touring the Bishop-to-Mammoth Lakes corridor.
