Marmot Rock Campground

Incredible views can be seen at Marmot Rock Campground, a high sierra campground located on Courtright Reservoir in the Sierra National Forest. A nearby boat ramp provides access to the reservoir, a pretty lake with opportunities for boating, with speed limits under 10 mph, and fishing. Campers are provided with picnic tables, grills, vault toilets, swivel-clasp-secured bear safe cabinets (one per campsite), but it does not have potable water at this time. The Courtright Reservoir, at 8,200 feet in elevation is located in one of the most superb geological areas of California. Bare granite domes rise from the shores of Courtright Reservoir and above the deep canyon cut by Helms Creek located at the north end of the lake. Ice Age glaciers sculpted the mountain peaks, slopes and valleys giving them their unique present-day shape. To the east Mt. Goddard rises majestically to 13,568 feet in elevation.
