Big Bend – Inyo National Forest Overview

Big Bend Campground is a beautiful little campground located on the banks of Lee Vining Creek in the Inyo National Forest. This campground is first-come, first-serve and sees heavy use because of its location to one of the more popular fishing creeks in the Lee Vining area.

Each campsite has a table, fire ring, grill and food storage locker. The campground has vault toilets and drinking water.

Outdoor activities include fishing, hiking, biking, hunting, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, winter sports and picnicking.
