Glass Creek Campground

Don't even bother because you cannot get a space! We have been coming for years, but on our last trip we tried to get in for 10 days and it was always full. There is a 21 day stay limit, but people ignore it. They park their rigs up there for the entire summer and visit them whenever they feel like it. Others live there full time for months until it closes for the winter. Ordinary people on vacation don't have a prayer. It is outrageous that the Forest Service has allowed this to happen!

Other reviewers did a good job mentioning what this place is all about.

We arrived around 3:00 on a Friday and got the last spot and stayed for 3 days and not too many people left. If they did leave someone came in and took that spot.

Great place for big rigs, both tall and long. Many sites could accommodate 2 or 3 rigs. Only one section had low hanging branches if your rig is tall. That section is near site 37 on the outside perimeter. If you enter at the first entrance on your right, go left right before or right after site 40. If you continue straight the road loops left past site 37 you will see those low branches.

If you take the second right entrance you will see the two group areas. Straight leads you to back in sites kind of near the creek. Turn left and go over the creek for more sites. These seemed more dusty due to OHV trails.

Great area for accessing off-road trails. There was not a camp host and very few rules posted (quiet hours and camp in designated sites) but all campers in our vicinity were quiet. We had a great FREE experience here!

We were here Wednesday after Memorial Day and there was NO one, but I think our experience was not the norm. We stayed on the south side of the campground and the sites there are backed up to beautiful woods, and not super close to the others. If you’re looking for more quiet, go over the bridge to these sites. Had pit toilets and fire rings. Lots of beautiful obsidian stones everywhere. We also took a hike that started at the dead end on the most western end of the campground. It follows the creek up.. we didn’t finish it cause it was getting dark and didn’t want to risk bears but it seemed like you could go pretty far! Loved this site so much!

We boondocked here for 14 days with no issues. Gets busy on the weekends with ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikers but all we encountered were courteous and friendly. Narrow creek runs thru the campground. Wooded, spacious sites with bear proof lockers and fire rings. Well maintained for a free campground! Tons of trails surrounding for hiking and biking. Deer walked they our site regularly but no bears spotted. We will definitely return!!

This place is amazing. If y’all like Ponderosa Pines and cool breezes, this place is for you.
Plenty of room for everyone. There are 50 spaces just in this campsite along and plenty more within a few miles.
The restrooms are closed in the off-season
I highly recommend this spot.
Only 7 miles from Mammoth Lakes. Witch is a good spot for all your supplies.

Came to Mammoth for spring snowboarding and this is the first time at this campsite. Great location, so close to Mammoth and has pit toilets. Huge lot. Sign says the campground is closed but there are parked RV’s and tents. So glad to have come here than staying at overpriced condos. Of course, if it were freezing temperature, this might not work out.
