We always love going to Lee Vining and camping around there. It is about a 20 minute drive West of Mono Lake. The campgrounds are each separated by a group of trees, so you are not peering into other peoples campgrounds. There are no showers, there are only outhouses but only about 3 for the entire campground. So it is a good midway for those who have camped at local parks with all of the amenities of leisure, wanted to take it up a notch to real camping. There is a wonderful creek stocked with fish, which can easily be your dinner.
Once you get there there is also a lot of areas for people to go off and hike, you just need to find a safe way to cross the river, I mean there are large trees that are across the river but I have not been there in about a year, so they could have been washed away. We have only but wonderful memories of going here, especially since you can rent canoes, and paddle around Mono Lake. |
