About ELLERY CREEK

Federal campground in California.

Nestled in the heart of California's Sierra Nevada mountains, Ellery Creek offers RV campers an authentic wilderness experience surrounded by towering pines, granite peaks, and pristine alpine beauty. This National Forest campground provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where the air is crisp, the nights are filled with stars, and the landscape seems untouched by time.

The location puts you in one of California's most spectacular regions, where outdoor recreation opportunities abound year-round. The surrounding National Forest lands offer miles of hiking trails that range from gentle walks to challenging backcountry adventures. Anglers will find excellent fishing opportunities in nearby streams and lakes, where mountain trout are plentiful during the season. The elevation and alpine setting create a cool retreat during hot California summers, making it an ideal destination for those seeking to escape scorching lowland temperatures.

What makes this area truly special is its proximity to some of the state's most iconic natural wonders. Whether you're drawn to dramatic mountain vistas, peaceful forest walks, or the thrill of outdoor adventures, the surroundings deliver on all fronts. The quiet beauty of the National Forest creates a contemplative atmosphere perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers seeking solitude and connection with nature. Wildlife viewing is common here, with opportunities to spot deer, marmots, and various bird species throughout the year.

The campground itself offers a genuine forest camping experience, where you can wake up to the sounds of nature and spend your days exploring the remarkable landscape. Whether you plan to fish pristine mountain streams, hike scenic trails, photograph stunning peaks, or simply relax under the trees, Ellery Creek provides the perfect basecamp for a memorable mountain getaway. The National Forest setting ensures a more rustic, undeveloped experience compared to commercial campgrounds, appealing to those who value authenticity and natural beauty in their camping adventures.
