Rock Creek Lake campground is a beautiful family campground located between Rock Creek and Rock Creek Lake in the Sierra Nevada high country. There are 26 campsites available. Campsites 10-13 are RV sites. These sites are relatively tight, but do have space for your RV or trailer and another vehicle (parked side by side). The rest of the campsites are walk-to, tent-only campsites. Several of the walk-to sites require hiking 300+ feet. Some are located along the lakeshore, while others are up next to the creek and in the forest. One group campsite is also available on the other side of the lake and close to the boat ramp.
Campground amenities include drinking water and flush toilets. There’s also a boat ramp, boat rentals and day-use area along the lake. Firewood is also available for sale at the campground. Campsites also have a parking area, table, food storage locker, fire ring and grate. Cell service is not available. The campground has 2 camping areas. Sites 1-13 are in the first area/loop and sites 14-26 are in the second area/loop. Check out our campground map for approximate locations of campsites.
Outdoor activities include boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, backpacking, picnicking, horseback riding and wildlife viewing.
Other campgrounds in the area include East Fork, Palisade, Big Meadow and Iris Meadow.

you do not have a picture of site #26 at rock creek lake campground on the video of the campsites. can you send me pictures?
Hi Joseph,
We do have the photo of campsite #26 (below) and will also post to the Rock Creek Lake page.
The photo for campsite 21 and 22 look exactly the same. Which is the correct campsite number for the photo? Thanks
Good catch Laguna. Sorry about that. The picture of campsite #21 is incorrect (we will update asap). The picture of campsite #22 is correct.
Hey there, which campsites are the best for being near that back beach of the lake? Hard to tell on the recreation.gov site. Not walk to campsite, close to the car? Thanks!
Does anyone have a map of the camp sites? There isnt one available recreation.gov and I cant find one online anywhere.
