Lee Vining Canyon offers creekside camping at Lower Lee Vining, Aspen, and Big Bend campgrounds. These are convenient bases for exploring the canyon and nearby Mono Lake.

Amenities vary. Lower Lee Vining Campground has vault toilets, picnic tables, and bear lockers, but no potable water. Bring enough drinking and cooking water for your stay.

Reservation policies vary by campground. Lower Lee Vining Campground is first-come, first-served and does not accept reservations. Check your chosen campground’s current information before arriving.

Campfire rules change with fire conditions and location. Check current restrictions before lighting a fire. Where dispersed camping is permitted, a California Campfire Permit is generally required for campfires and camp stoves; a permit does not override fire restrictions. Inyo National Forest fire information.

Dispersed camping, camping outside a developed campground is allowed in designated portions of the surrounding public lands. The Mono Lake Committee identifies the Jeffrey pine forest off Highway 120 east as an option. Confirm the exact location’s rules and closures before setting up; a roadside pullout is not automatically a legal campsite.

This is bear country. At Lower Lee Vining Campground, the provided bear lockers must be used. Follow your campground’s food-storage instructions and keep food and scented items out of your tent. Food-storage requirements.

LEAVE NO TRACE

Please stay on designated trails, leave natural and cultural objects undisturbed, and pack out everything you bring. Trailhead and recreation-area trash cans fill quickly, especially on busy weekends and holidays—and bear lockers are not trash cans. If a bin is full, never leave bags beside it; take your trash with you and help keep public lands and gateway communities clean.

OPT OUT
OF FIRE

Ideally, skip the campfire and enjoy the stars instead. Fire restrictions can change quickly across Mono County, so always check current regulations before lighting a fire.

SHOP
LOCAL

Tourism places real demands on small gateway communities, from roads and public safety to restrooms, waste removal, and visitor services. When you shop, dine, and stay locally, the tax revenue you generate helps our county meet those demands and keeps local businesses—and the community—strong.

SLOW
DOWN

Slow down and enjoy the ride. Our roads travel through small towns, rural communities, wildlife corridors, and recreation areas. Speed limits change frequently and local roads may have pedestrians, cyclists, livestock, or wildlife nearby.

KNOW
YOUR LIMITS

Our region spans dramatic elevation changes and diverse landscapes. A short walk can quickly become a strenuous adventure due to heat, altitude, weather, or terrain. Carry plenty of water, know your route, start early, and choose activities that match your experience and fitness level. If you’re bringing a dog, remember they experience heat, rough terrain, and altitude differently than people.

RESPECT
LOCALS &VISITORS

Our region is a collection of small, rural communities surrounded by public lands, where both locals and visitors, and animals belong. Be bear aware. Don’t feed the bears. Please respect those who call this place home, welcome those passing through, and treat everyone with patience, kindness, and consideration.
