Indian Creek Campground Markleeville CA

Boat launch is not open So much for free land

Neat, clean and quiet campground. Campsites are spaced far enough from each other. Big bathrooms and hot water showers open up another dimension especially for the first timers.

Just left (Fri 8/30) to avoid the Labor Day weekend chaos. Great campground. The host now is Tom, and he (and I assume his wife) run an excellent ship. When you arrive your camp site will probably be spotless. I saw them cleaning a just vacated spot like it was their own home. I was in an RV so I didn't need the camp's facilities, but they looked as clean as the camp sites.nnThere's a nice hike that starts on the west side of the CG that goes up to a small lake over the ridge called Summit Lake. It's a pretty easy hike, 1.5 miles to the lake.

We had a great time. Beautiful views from the hike in campgrounds. Sites 2, 7 & 8 are the best spots. Great spot to fish. We got to see the rainbow trout spawn.

Site 2 had an amazing view, right next to the lake. There is a day use area with flush toilets. All camp sites have 2 parking spots and the sites have two places to put up tents. Buy firewood and coal while on way, there are no restaurant or shop nearby (within 2mi) where you can get it. You get a beautiful view of stars in the night, I would definately recommend star gazing at night, we even saw some shooting stars. Bear box is provided to store food,bring your own water, there are few faucets in the day use area as such, but not sure of the water quality.
