Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights14 sites open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
8-mile round-trip trail to Elizabeth Lake starts inside the campground and climbs to a glacier-carved basin beneath Unicorn Peak, and other nearby routes access Lyell Canyon (part of the John Muir Trail), Cathedral Lakes, Mono Pass, Glen Aulin and the Soda Springs/Parsons Lodge area. Tenaya Lake, a short drive away, is a popular spot for picnicking, swimming and canoeing.














Length limits vary by campsite.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (18,230 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
