Vermillion in CA -- Campground & RV Camping

Vermillion Campground sits in a ponderosa pine forest on the northwest shore of Edison Lake, offering views of the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wilderness areas. The layout suits tents and small RVs, though some sites are sloped. Each site has a picnic table, campfire ring, and bear-proof food locker set back from the spur. Facilities include eight potable water spigots and vault toilets. Edison Lake features a free public boat launch, sandy beaches, kayaking, and trout fishing. The nearby Vermillion Valley Resort provides pay showers, supplies, and a lake ferry.
