Vermillion Campground
Vermillion Campground is located on the northwest shore of Edison Lake, in a shady stand of Ponderosa Pine. Most sites provide lake views. The campground is ideal for tents and small RVs.
Each campsite has a picnic table, campfire ring, and bear-proof food storage locker, all set off a bit from the designated parking area. Some sites are sloped and not suitable for tent camping.
- Vault toilets provided.
- Water spigot on-site but boiling the water recommended.
- Large RVs not recommended on Kaiser Pass Road.
Vermillion Campground is an excellent base for exploring the Ansel Adams or John Muir Wilderness Areas. Visitors appreciate the mountain views from the campground.
The Vermillion Valley Resort offers ferry rides across the lake to trails within the Ansel Adams Wilderness.
Visitors can also enjoy campfire programs offered throughout the summer.
