Campground details
Setting
Rock Creek Campground sits on a large, sandy flat beneath oaks, pines, and cedars in Sierra National Forest near Mammoth Pool Reservoir. Rock Creek runs through the middle of the grounds, dividing the sites into three sections connected by a footbridge. The inner loops sit closest to local creek swimming holes and a natural rock water slide. Facilities include vault toilets, drinking water, and paved or dirt parking spurs. Each campsite comes with a picnic table and a campfire ring with a grill. The area sits right off the 83-mile Sierra Vista Scenic Byway.
Getting there: From Fresno, California, take Highway 41 north. Turn east on Forest Road 200 and pass through North Fork. Take Minarets Road east for 22 miles to Rock Creek Campground.
