Green Creek Group

Overview

Green Creek Group Campground is located about 12 miles from Bridgeport, California, at an elevation of 7,500 feet. Visitors enjoy fishing on Green Creek and hiking the Green Creek Trail.

Recreation

Green Creek offers rainbow trout fishing and can be easily accessed from within the campground.

Green Creek Trail, for hiking and horseback riding, can be accessed just outside the campground entrance. It leads to Green Lake and further on to East Lake. Rugged peaks surround both large lakes, where hikers are rewarded with good backcountry fishing and spectacular scenery.

The camp ground host Chris did a great job of preparing the campsites for the next people, the out houses were well stocked and clean. Chris was a huge help when we had trouble with our RV. He was terrific!!

With our group of 18 veterans and first responders, the site provided easy access, great individual campsites for tents, the peaceful sound of the running creek and easy access to other trails and activities. While there was only one toilet, the campground host kept it clean and tidy. The site is separated from the second so there was little or no noise or distraction.

Spent a lot of money for this group site only to have a very unpleasant smell from the pit toilet in camp. Needs an additional toilet stall given the number of people at the group campsites and cleaned out more often, esp. before Labor Day, a big holiday. Not enough bear boxes for the group and we had trouble fending them off.

Great host. Clean restrooms. Quiet area. Adjacent to good hiking and beautiful views. While there is no water at this site, we knew that going in so it wasn’t a problem.

Absolutely gorgeous group campsite, right beside a nice small fishing creek. 2 bear bunkers at site that were a new style --- opening from the side so that all the contents were readily accessible. Vault toilet was immaculate with no odor and also had a stand with sanitizing liquid just outside it. The disadvantages of this camp were no potable water, and an 11 mile gravel and rocky road to get there. Road is easily passible with a normal sedan in the daytime, but I would not travel it at night without a 4 wheel drive or pickup. We knew of the water situation in advance and used a couple of large insulated containers (5 & 3 gal) and some large water jugs from the local stores to supply us quite easily.
