Mono Creek Campground

Area Status: Closed

Mono Creek Campground is located in the High Sierras above Kaiser Pass. This quiet, remote campground is situated in a peaceful meadow near Mono Hot Springs at an elevation of 7,500 feet. Campsites are spacious, private and shaded by mature Ponderosa pines. Each campsite has a picnic table, grill and bear-proof food storage locker. No water source is available on-site, but potable water is available at the High Sierra Ranger Station. Accessible vault toilets are provided. Large RV's not recommended on Kaiser Pass Road.

Most recreational activities are centered around nearby Edison Lake, which serves as an excellent base for exploring the Ansel Adams or John Muir Wilderness Areas, and Mono Hot Springs where visitors can enjoy hot mineral baths. Visitors can participate in interpretive programs, hiking, trout fishing, boating and horseback riding.
