About Tamarack Lodge
Campground in California.
Tamarack Lodge offers a serene mountain retreat for RV travelers seeking refuge in California's natural beauty. Nestled in a picturesque alpine setting, this public campground provides an excellent basecamp for exploring some of the state's most stunning wilderness areas and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The surrounding landscape captures the essence of California's high country, with towering pine forests, fresh mountain air, and expansive views that shift dramatically with the seasons. Whether you're visiting during the warm summer months when wildflowers dot the meadows or in fall when golden aspens create a stunning canopy, each season brings its own unique charm to the experience. The elevation and mountain location mean cooler temperatures year-round, making this an ideal escape from the heat of lower elevations.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the location provides abundant opportunities for hiking, fishing, and exploring pristine alpine lakes and streams. The nearby trails range from leisurely walks suitable for families to more challenging backcountry adventures for experienced hikers. Anglers will appreciate access to excellent fishing opportunities in the surrounding waters, where native trout populations thrive in the cold, clear mountain streams.
The campground serves as a perfect launching point for adventures in California's eastern Sierra region. The proximity to natural wonders means you can spend your days exploring spectacular landscapes, breathing in the crisp mountain air, and disconnecting from the hustle of everyday life. Many visitors use Tamarack Lodge as a base for multi-day explorations of the region, returning each evening to the comfort of their RV.
This public campground attracts a diverse mix of travelers, from families seeking a memorable vacation to serious outdoor adventurers and nature photographers. The mountain community atmosphere, combined with the accessibility of world-class outdoor recreation, makes it an appealing destination for anyone looking to experience California's pristine natural environments. The quieter pace of mountain camping offers a refreshing contrast to busier, more developed campground destinations.

The room was cozy and beautiful. The hotel sits in a peaceful area with views of the lakes. I was offered hot cider upon checkin. The staff showed me the hiking map and offer spikes to walk around in the winter. The restaurant serves good food, especially the elk.

Super nice and helpful staff. Great location. Beatiful mountain and lake view. even though I booked a historic cabin, all bathroom and kitchen plumbing were working like brand new building. Ski rental staff were super nice and helpful and location was very convenient. cross country track was not too busy even though we visited in long weekend. All in all one of my best experiences.

To my surprised this is an amazing place. The hospitality is top notch and gave us the cabin in the wood that we were looking for. Dave was super awesome at getting everything sorted from us and took care of us as if we were family. The live music on Saturday and breakfast was the cherry on top. Absolutely loved our stay and huge thanks to Dave for making it extraordinarily wonderful
