Bridge behind the campground is washed out.
Narrow, single lane road. Only accessible in summer. Accessible by private vehicle only if camping.
From North Fork, CA, take Road 225 east 3.7 miles to a "Y" intersection. Bear left onto Scenic Byway (Forest Rt. 81) and go 30.7 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
This is one of the best campsite in the valley. Our family has been camping in the valley for over 50yrs.
Gary has been the camp host in upper soda springs for the last few years and I have found him to be one of the best hosts we have ever had.
For anyone looking to camp in the Mammoth Lakes area, I highly recommend the Reds Meadow Valley.
Our families have been camping at Upper Soda Springs for over 37 years. Without a doubt, Gary is the best Campground Host we have had. He went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 30 and make sure we had the best sites for our needs. He even gives badges to the kids as an incentive to be responsible campers. The campground and facilities have never been in better shape! Now if we can just get Fish and Game to start stocking again!
I have been camping with my new family in upper soda springs for the past 3yrs and have to say that Gary is a great camp host.
His orientation is very informative and the bathrooms are very clean. He has a great dog, Dr. Suess. The hiking trails are wonderful and the store at the Reds Meadow pack station is a great place to treat yourself to an ice cream. Rainbow falls is a must see.
My husband has always raved about this area, and it did not disappoint. Upper Soda Springs is my FAVORITE campground we have ever been to. The campground was spacious and tidy, and the bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever used. Gary was an exceptional host, always around with help and knowledge. The nature in and around the campground was gorgeous! John walked to fly fish, we had two amazing half-day hikes, and there is still so much for us to explore. Can't wait to go back again asap!! Thanks so much to Gary and all for the fantastic week!
I’ve been fishing around the San Joaquin for years but last July was my first time camping there and it was an amazing experience! Clean pit toilets, great campsites, and potable water. The campground is beautiful and perfectly placed along the river with lots of surrounding hiking trails, waterfalls, and other adventures. Our camp host Gary was also a joy to be around, very welcoming and fun to talk to. Can’t wait to camp there again!
