Indian Creek Campground
Bureau of Land
Management, Carson City Field Office
 Indian Creek campground is located at Indian Creek
Reservoir inside the Bureau of Land Management's Indian Creek
Recreation Area, approximately 10 miles northeast of
Markleeville. Access is completely paved from SR 89.
This campground has nice facilities in
the transition zone between forest and high desert.
Campsites are located in fairly dense forest of
Ponderosa/Jeffrey pine and the squattier desert piñon
pine. The entrance area sites are little less shady but
have good lake access (these sites are for tents only).
Sites in the rear loop are shadier and allow RV's (but have
limited to no lake access).
I'm typically not a fan of
BLM facilities, but this by far is their shining gem. It's
just a good well-rounded campground. There is fishing in
the lake. A few hikes in this rec area. Also,
Grover Hot Springs State Park is just west of
Markleeville. Reviewed 05/2000. Updated
information provided by Steve Hill 08/2005.
