Rock Creek Lake (inyo National Forest, Ca)

Good

High Elevation and an accessible nearby trailhead to Long Lake. A favorite for fishing & hiking. Very sincere & nice camp hosts doing an excellent job. Thank you

Beautiful!
The camp hosts were a lovely couple, very nice. But they mentioned that usually charge for a second vehicle. I made the reservation on line that clearly says that we are allowed 2 cars per site. They didn’t charge us saying that they are supposed to but don’t usually. Not sure where the disconnect is but…. It’s a little troubling.

So peaceful, lots of mosquitoes and thunderstorms which flooded our site from 4-5pm every day we were there in June. A few sites don’t have good drainage (site18) which could potentially leave you and your bags in a muddy mess. Thankfully we had a small hand trowel which the kids were using for playing in the beach, which freed up some debris and provided relief with drainage.
Also be aware, fishermen here can be territorial with, unforgiving. We were told the water was not for playing in, moments later, man enters water with his rod. 😔 Please remember, we share this world with many species. Fish are not there for your consumption, waters can not be owned for your recreation. Water brings us life, we all depend on these waters. The waters depend on us to care and be respectful to them. We are ALL guests here. Come with an open heart, to be one with all those sharing this space.

Beautiful lake and area. The only thing I didnt like is that the campsite is separate from your parking spot for your car. Im used to having the parking spot and camping spot conjoined. I was looking forward to using a tent on my tailgate but my camp spot was a few yards away. That and all the cars are parked together like a parking lot.

Great site but only fits one tent!

Beautiful area. Watch the weather. 30 at night and 65 during the day means very cold night and hot days (the sun is very strong!). Fishing and hiking and good in the area.

QUIET AND BEAUTIFUL

Campsites are combined -- so you share the space with 2 other campers. In our case, one camper was quite considerate and nice -- we spent some time talking and sharing that was quite pleasant. The other campers showed up at sunset -- two families and at least 6 kids. Im not against children, having been one myself, but to not control your kids, have them not respect your space and run around and make noise until 10:30 PM was just rude. When they finally went to bed the adults stayed up till around midnight and always seemed to be talking in their "outdoor" voice (that is very loud). Having to get up early for a long hike, we certainly did not appreciate the noise. Campsite and lake are beautiful -- but your experience can be ruined if your campsite is joined with some bad neighbors.

The site, (023), has wonderful views of and access to the creek and is well situated for solitude. The walk-in distance is about 100 yards; the host has several wheelbarrows available, which are invaluable for this distance. The tent pad accommodates one large tent; it might accommodate two smaller tents. There was an area which accommodated a second smaller tent (4-person). The picnic table was level and near the bear box, so very convenient for cooking. We were caught off guard about the walk-in distance, but felt it was worth the effort.
