Rock Creek Lake (inyo National Forest, Ca)

Great campground. Campsite 26 is located most remotely from parking, had to use wheelbarrows to get gear to campsite. Once camp was set up the site was great, except for yellow jackets, that was annoying. Flush toilets were a plus. Overall love the campsite and the campground location. Hiked to Little Lakes and Hilton. Great hikes

This is a great area - beautiful lake, close to many great hiking trails. Lake shore itself is primarily occupied by people fishing, some who get perturbed if your kid or dog makes any noise. (These are the same people who catch and release the same fish over and over....)
One wonderful change: The camp hosts are amazing! Very friendly, keep the facilities clean, are responsive to guest concerns, and even use their own funds to purchase liquid hand soap for the bathrooms. This is their second year in the campground and they are a welcome change from the last host who'd disappear for a week at a time.

Canp hosts Louis and Jean (sp?) went above and beyond. Their attention to detail in the maintenance of the facilities, the upkeep of the bathrooms and the managing of the variety of things that came up with the guests was simply amazing. All of it. They deserve huge props.

So grateful for our time at rock creek lake. Loved it. The camp hosts went above and beyond to make everyone’s stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you thank you thank you.

What an awesome campground. Love the layout and the built in tent spots!

nice

We LOVE Rock Creek. Part of me doesn’t want to write a review so that fewer people go, but I also want others to enjoy this hidden gem. The hosts, Jean and Luis, are so sweet! They let us charge our battery pack, answered all our questions and keep the bathroom stocked and immaculate. We stayed in the tent site 25 which does require a minutes wheel barrow trip to haul your items from the parking lot. I did not mind at all as it was well worth staying away from the more busy day use area. There were lots of mosquitoes but nothing long sleeves and bug spray couldn’t protect you from. Also, nights get chilly so bring warm coats. We took our 5 and 8 year olds on their first backpacking trip out to Little lakes valley for one night and had lots of fun. We also brought a small inflatable raft to go our paddling around on Rock Lake. This is a great place for families, fishing and exploring nature. 5/5!

I LOVE this place! BUT this campground needs to publish a Site Map on the reservation website!!! Not just photos of the campsites. The campsite I had reserved , unbeknownst to me, was a "walk-in" site. There is NO mention of this important detail on the reservation website. I never would have reserved site #21 if I had that info ahead of time. It was a three minute walk on dirt trail, slightly uphill just to get there. They provide wheelbarrows, but it would have easily taken me 8 trips to get all my gear up there (I was a solo camper with lots of stuff) . So I didn't camp there. Gave up my spot and went down to East Fork campground instead, where there are several FCFS sites, and all of them have adjacent parking for your vehicle.

This campground is beautiful and well maintained. The bathrooms were typically clean, and the individual sites were very nice. The only downside: it's overrun with those awful invasive Asian Tiger mosquitoes. They are extremely aggressive and are out biting almost all day long. Come prepared!

Camp hosts Jean and Luis kept that place super clean and made sure all guests feel welcome. The location is perfect for summer camping. Can't wait to come back.
