Glacier Lodge

How do you define a camping experience that combines raw natural beauty, rich history, and unbeatable access to pristine wilderness? Glacier Lodge Campground in Big Pine, California, sits at 8,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada, offering a harmonious blend of stunning alpine vistas, proximity to the Palisade Glacier, and direct access to some of the region’s finest hiking and fishing opportunities.

The campground offers a choice of rustic cabins, RV sites, and tent camping, surrounded by towering pines and the soothing rush of Big Pine Creek. Campers enjoy simple comforts, including running water, flushing toilets, and fire pits for evenings beneath starry skies. Unique features such as a stocked trout pond and a charming general store enhance the experience for families and nature seekers alike, while the absence of campsite power reinforces the retreat’s commitment to off-the-grid serenity.

Just 11 miles from Big Pine and within a short drive to attractions like the trailheads leading to the glacier-fed Big Pine Lakes, this campground serves as a basecamp for day trips and extended adventures. Whether you’re an avid hiker, angler, or simply seeking a peaceful alpine escape, Glacier Lodge Campground offers an authentic way to connect with California’s high country.
