McGee Campground

What sets McGee Campground apart is its striking blend of serene natural beauty, convenient access to outdoor adventures, and elevated setting at 7,600 feet in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Perched along the picturesque McGee Creek, this campground offers breathtaking views of towering peaks in the adjacent John Muir Wilderness and provides a robust mix of activities including trout fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. The open sagebrush landscape, punctuated by aspen-lined meadows, creates a tranquil atmosphere complemented by the soothing sounds of the nearby creek.

With 28 well-maintained campsites, each equipped with paved spurs, a picnic shelter, and bear-proof lockers, McGee Campground caters to both tent and RV campers (up to 28 feet in length). While the sites are relatively sunny, shade structures ensure comfort for visitors. Just two miles from the McGee Creek Trailhead, the campground serves as a gateway to premier hiking and horseback riding trails that wind through vibrant alpine meadows and dramatic wilderness vistas. The Eastern Sierra's trout-rich waters, including McGee Creek and nearby Crowley Lake, make this an excellent destination for anglers.

Conveniently located off U.S. Highway 395, McGee Campground is just 8 miles south of Mammoth Lakes and 4 miles above the charming town of Crowley Lake. Within a short drive, visitors can also enjoy local events like Mule Days in Bishop or explore renowned attractions such as Convict Lake. Whether for a peaceful weekend escape or an adventurous basecamp, McGee Campground captures the essence of the Eastern Sierra's rugged charm.
