We think you will enjoy another High Sierra get-away week at beautiful Rock Creek Lake campground. This scenic area is popular for picnics, fishing, and hiking. Our trailer does not fit into this campground, so we plan to visit with friends in June Lake during this week.

Facilities The campsites are well-spaced along the lake shore, with several tent-only, walk-in sites overlooking the lake. Boat rentals, educational programs, groceries and showers are all nearby. Firewood is available on-site for a fee. Bears inhabit the area, so bear-proof lockers are provided for campers to store food.

Each family is responsible for their own reservations, equipment, and meals. Reservations can be made 6 months FROM YOUR ARRIVAL DATE at: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/233907 or phone: 877-444-6777.

Natural Features The campsites at Rock Creek Lake sit on a low hill with scattered aspen and lodgepole pine trees overlooking the lake's crystal blue waters. At an elevation of 9,600 feet, the area is home to abundant wildlife, including black bear, mountain lions, mule deer, pine martin, pika and many species of fish and birds.

Recreation Rock Creek and other waterways in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains are known for exceptional trout fishing. A catch from the lake may include brook, brown, rainbow and stocked Alpers trout, while anglers may be treated to golden trout in the backcountry. Power boats on the lake are limited to electric motors only.

The area's majestic scenery and challenging trails are a draw for hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders. The Tamarack Trail begins in the campground and wanders up to several high-elevation, glacially-carved alpine lakes and ponds.
