What a nice FREE campsite! I couldn't believe it was free. There are bathrooms, picnic table, firepit with griddle and a place to store firewood. Great spot to stay at near June Lake/Mammoth. Can't wait to come back again! Also, the campground host was super friendly as well. Definitely feels safe.

Spacious wooded area with sparkling creek running through. Be sensible about bears, they do show up. Birds and squirrels/chipmunks to see. Good access, we have 41' 5th wheel RV. Stop near notice board and walk over to host for directions, John knows what will suit you. No hookups. Great outdoor feel, firepits, pets on leash, pit toilets. Starry nights. Donation to stay $10 or more ! Well worth it.

Really liked Glass Creek, the campsites are nice with tables, pits and Bear boxes. Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Pet friendly as well. Small creek nearby. I will return.

Probably the best campground to spend the trip at. The people were quiet and peaceful huge spaces for your RV. And the two best things about it has a ohv from dirt bikes to utvs with really long trails to never get bored. And for a bonus it has a little creek to go and have fun. 10/10 would recommend going especially if you own dirt bikes, ATV, and UTV

We went to Glass Creek Campground and John the camp host helped us find an available spot on what was a really busy weekend! He with a busy weekend going on made us a priority to land our rig. Once set up we had a great time enjoying the great outdoors of the beautiful eastern side of the Sierras!! Thanks John!!
