Sawmill (Walk-in) Campground is more of a backpack style camping area that requires a 1/4 mile walk to the 12 campsites. The ‘walk’ is worth it as the views are amazing of surrounding meadows, trees and surrounding mountains. It is located on the boundary of the Hoover Wilderness at an elevation of 9,800 feet.
Camping is first-come, first-serve (tent only) and each site has a table, food storage locker, fire ring, grill. Most sites also have shade and room for two tents. Trash must be packed out. Two vault toilets are provided at the campground. There is no piped water, but you can filter from nearby Lee Vining Creek. There is overnight parking for 15 vehicles (no trailers or RVs). Cell service is not available in the area.
Outdoor recreation in the area includes hiking (day use), fishing, picnicking and wildlife viewing.
Other campgrounds in the area include Junction, Saddlebag Lake, Ellery Lake and Tioga Lake.
